FBI Small Business Program
Committed to serving small business partners
Overview
The FBI’s Finance and Facilities Division's Small Business Program (SBP) is responsible for implementing the program, as well as supporting both internal and external entities.

The program also monitors the FBI's progress in meeting small business goals in each category to include:
- Small Business
