Small Business Advocacy Improvements Act of 2025

# Small Business Advocacy Improvements Act of 2025 — Summary **What the Bill Does** This bill expands the responsibilities of the Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy to focus more on international issues. Specifically, it would allow the office to study how small businesses participate in the global economy and to represent small business interests to foreign governments and international organizations. This gives the office a new role in influencing trade deals and regulations that could affect American small businesses internationally. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily benefits small business owners by giving them a dedicated advocate in international trade and regulatory discussions.

It also affects the Small Business Administration, which would need to add these new duties to the Office of Advocacy's workload. **Current Status** The bill has already passed the House of Representatives and is now awaiting action in the Senate. The bill focuses on competitiveness and trade issues, suggesting Congress sees small business participation in global markets as important for economic growth.
