Small Business Size Standards: Revised Size Standards Methodology

What it does

The revised white paper provides a detailed description of SBA's size standards methodology, including changes from SBA's 2024 Revised Size Standards Methodology (2024 Methodology, available at www.sba.gov/ size). SBA welcomes comments and feedback on the 2026 Revised Methodology, which SBA has applied to the proposed review of size standards filed concurrently in the Federal Register.
