Small business research and statistics are now easier to find
thanks to the Office of Advocacy’s newly redesigned web site. The site, http://www.sba.gov/advo, offers intuitive, easy to use menus and search features that guide users to a wealth of data,REports,and statistics on small business and the American economy.
“Now it’s easier for small business owners, trade associations, researchers, policymakers, and academics to accurately find what they need, and find it fast,” said Thomas M. Sullivan, Chief Counsel for Advocacy.
The redesign of http://www.sba.gov/advo is based on observations and contributions from Office of Advocacy stakeholders. Users of the newly designed site report that regulatory issues, state profiles, and other issue areas are clearly indexed and easily accessible.
The Office of Advocacy,the “small Business watchdog” of the government,Examines the role and status of small business in the economy and independently represents the views of small business to federal agencies, Congress, and the President. It is the source for small business statistics presented in user-friendly formats and it funds research into small business issues.
