Entrepreneurial Development Impact Report

The U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Office of Entrepreneurial Development (ED) designed a multi-year time series study to assess the impact of the programs it offers to small businesses. This study has examined clients who received services, starting in 003.

The SBA initiated this study as part of the process of meeting the then President’s Management Agenda and subsequent evaluative processes such as the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) evaluation. SBA contracted with Concentrance Consulting Group to assist in administering the study, to analyze the findings and to write this report.
