About this document and download
The SBA's revised Size Standards Methodology White Paper (2023 version) explains how it establishes, reviews and modifies its small business size standards. The SBA regularly revises its methodology and accepts comments from the public on how to identify and weigh the variables used in its methodology. The 2023 version of the size standards methodology will be applied to the forthcoming third 5-year review of size standards under the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010.
