Over 40 different Federal agencies assist or regulate businesses. With so many sources of information, finding what you want can be complicated and time-consuming. Business.gov is one of the E-Government initiatives in the President's Management Agenda. It was developed to provide better customer service for small businesses interacting with the Federal Government.
Business.gov is a collaborative effort managed by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Partner executive departments include Department of Commerce (DOC), Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of the Interior (DOI), Department of Justice (DOJ), Department of Labor (DOL), and Department of Transportation (DOT). We also partner with the following independent agencies and government corporations: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), General Services Administration (GSA), and Social Security Administration (SSA).

SBA and their partner agencies share the belief that government can be more customer-focused and user-friendly in helping U.S. small businesses gain access to information and services from the government. Business.gov provides a one-stop, common access point for Federal Government services and information needed to assist with starting, running, and growing a business.
Serving businesses on their terms - providing information at the right time and in the right format - is our goal.
