Advocacy is an independent voice for small business within the federal government and is the watchdog for the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA).
Advocacy advances the views and concerns of small business before Congress, the White House, the federal agencies, the federal courts and state policy makers.
Giving small employers a voice early in the process is key to reducing the negative impact of regulations on small businesses, increasing the level of regulatory compliance, and passing on cost savings to state economies. Regional Advocates help identify regulatory concerns of small business by monitoring the impact of federal and state policies at the grassroots level.
