The Office of Advocacy supports businesses with less than 500 employees, non-profit organizations, and independent contractors. Our mission is to help small entities as regulations are developed in Washington.

We are an independent office within the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). We do not take part in SBA’s work on loans, disaster relief, or procurement.
