What is a Small Business?

For CDER SBIA purposes, the term “small business” is defined as a business that has fewer than 500 employees, including employees of affiliates. An affiliate is further defined as a business entity that has a relationship with a second business entity if:

one business entity controls, or has the power to control, the other business entity, or
	a third party controls, or has the power to control, both entities.Resources For You
