Summary
The SBA is hosting two online meetings to talk about changing the rules that decide how big a business can be to still count as 'small.' These changes could affect many businesses by using money-based size limits instead of just employee counts. If you run a small business, this is your chance to share your thoughts before the final decision is made!

Proposal to use money-based size limits
The SBA is proposing to change how a business is counted as 'small' by using money-based size limits instead of just counting employees. This change could affect many businesses because eligibility would be determined by monetary thresholds rather than employee headcount.
Two virtual forums to collect testimony
The SBA will hold two online public forums to discuss the proposed monetary-based size standards. If you run a small business, you can give testimony at these meetings and that testimony will become part of the administrative record the SBA will use when making the final rule.
