In The Small Business Economy, the Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy reviews the economic environment for small businesses each year. The reports provide an overview of the financial and federal procurement marketplaces. New research focuses on minority- and veteran-owned businesses, social entrepreneurship, and pre-venture planning. Advocacy's annual report on implementation of the Regulatory Flexibility Act and the results of Advocacy's initiative to carry regulatory flexibility successes to the state level are summarized. Appendices provide data on small business and regulatory flexibility documents.
