The U.S. Small Business Administration’s Office of Advocacy serves as an independent voice for small businesses within the federal government. It examines the contributions and challenges of small firms, conducts economic research and policy analyses, and engages with Congress, the White House, federal agencies, and state policymakers to advance small business interests. The office disseminates reference materials such as state-by-state small business profiles, quarterly indicators, and The Small Business Economy report, and it works to ensure regulators consider the impact of rules on small entities. Regional Advocates support the Chief Counsel from offices nationwide, including Washington, DC, and help bring regulatory flexibility to states to reduce burdens on small businesses. Based in the District of Columbia, the office operates within the government administration sector and targets policymakers and regulators as its primary audience. Its activities include educating regulators on small-entity impacts, promoting regulatory flexibility, and informing small business owners and advocates about rule-making processes. The office is led by a Chief Counsel who directs the advocacy efforts, with a role in shaping policy discussions and providing a conduit for small business concerns at multiple government levels.
