Your comments on IRS enforcement actions. The Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and 10 Regional Fairness Boards were established to receive comments from small business about federal agency enforcement actions. The Ombudsman will annually evaluate the enforcement activities and rate each agency's responsiveness to small business. The SBA also has publications and videos on a variety of business topics. SBDCs provide counseling, training, and technical services to current and prospective small business owners who cannot afford the services of a private consultant.
Help is available when beginning, improving, or expanding a small business.
BICs offer a small business reference library, management video tapes, and computer technology to help plan a business. Individuals who are in business or are interested in starting a business can use BICs as often as they wish at no charge. While visiting the SBA web site, you can find a variety of information of interest to small business owners. You can walk in to a Small Business Development Center or Business Information Center to request assistance with your small business.
