SBA’s Office of Advocacy is an independent voice for small business within the federal government. If you find them on the web (www.sba.gov/advocacy), it sounds pretty serious and a bit dull…the watchdog for the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) and the source of small business statistics. Advocacy advances the views and concerns of small business before Congress, the White House, the federal agencies, the federal courts and state policy makers.
 
But there’s a wealth of information and support for small businesses around innovation, growth opportunities, financing, and economics.  Advocacy also supports lots of studies and research that drives changes in policy priorities and special initiatives
