All Small Mentor-Protégé goals
Goals are specific to each business relationship as defined by the resulting mentor-protégé agreement. The protégé outlines goals, and works with the mentor to create a plan to address them, along with a timeline and method for measuring success.
Agency roles and responsibilities
SBA representatives serve as gatekeepers for the small business Mentor-Protégé program, ensuring that requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) are met in approving mentor-protégé agreements.
Approving a Mentor-Protégé Agreement
For the SBA to approve a mentor-protégé agreement, it must determine that:
- The mentor’s assistance does not primarily act as a vehicle for federal small business set-asides.
- There must be no “determination of affiliation” between the mentor and protégé, other than exceptions defined in 13 CFR Part 125.9.
