Improve the economic environment for small businesses

Other Information:

As a champion for small businesses, the SBA Administrator works to ensure that all enterprising Americans have the maximum opportunity to succeed. The SBA promotes an environment that encourages and sustains entrepreneurship. In this role, the Agency affects the business climate through the combined efforts of the Office of Advocacy (Advocacy), the Office of the National Ombudsman (ONO), the Office of the Administrator, and various programmatic offices. SBA intends to achieve a positive impact on behalf of small businesses by convincing other government entities to support policies and to take actions that are beneficial to small businesses. SBA helps meet this goal by advancing the views, concerns and interests of this constituency before Congress, the White House, Federal agencies, Federal courts and state policy makers. SBA also ensures there is a vigorous regulatory review process followed by fair and reasonable application of those regulations to individual small businesses.
