About

The Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council (SBE Council) is an influential voice and advocate for entrepreneurs and small business owners.  We focus on advancing policies and initiatives that encourage entrepreneurship and small business growth.  Our strength and effectiveness are powered by SBE Council supporters and members. Our network of more than 100,000 member supporters, including entrepreneurs and small business owners, state and local business organizations, corporate partners and associations work with us to strengthen the environment for entrepreneurship, investment, innovation and quality job creation.

SBE Council educates elected officials, policymakers, business leaders and the public about key policies that enable business start-up and growth. Through advocacy, research, media outreach, and education, SBE Council members and staff convey the importance of entrepreneurship to job creation, opportunity, economic growth and U.S. competitiveness.  Since our founding in 1994, SBE Council has helped to strengthen the ecosystem for small business and entrepreneurial success in the U.S. and across the world.
