Management Assessment Questionnaire & License Application

Thank you for your interest in the SBIC Program.  Applying for an SBIC license is a two-part process, beginning with the completion of the Management Assessment Questionnaire (“MAQ”).  The MAQ consists of SBA Form 2181, together with the Exhibits in SBA Form 2183. Read-only .pdf versions of the following MAQ documents are provided below for your review:

• Sample SBA Form 2181

• Sample SBA Form 2183

• Exhibit F Instructions

• Sample Exhibit F1

• Sample Exhibit F2

• Sample Exhibit F3

In order to proceed with the application process, please request the most recent versions of the MAQ files at MAQrequest@sba.gov.

The next step in the application process is the formal licensing phase. The formal license application consists of the same SBA Form 2181 used in the MAQ (to be updated by the applicant as needed), together with the Exhibits found in SBA Form 2182. Read-only .pdf versions of the following MAQ/Licensing documents are provided below for your review:

• SBA Form 2181 (Updated as needed)

• SBA Form 2182

In order to proceed with the application process, please request the most recent versions of the MAQ files at MAQrequest@sba.gov.
