The Office of Advocacy is the independent voice for small businesses and entities within the federal government, the watchdog of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, and a resource for small business statistics and research.
the independent voice for small business
We have three core responsibilities…
Office of Advocacy (Advocacy) works with federal agencies to ensure that new rules and regulations are not unfairly harmful or burdensome to small businesses. Our team of attorneys engages with rule makers all throughout the process, ensuring that your voices are heard in Washington.
Advocacy conducts research on the state of American small businesses. Our team of economists works with the most recent government data to produce products to better inform policymakers across the country about the current state of the small business economy.
Advocacy reaches out to small businesses to bring your concerns directly to Washington, so that our legal and economic teams understand what issues to prioritize.
