Abstract: The information collected on SBA Form 480, "Size Status Declaration" is collected from small business investment companies (SBICs) and the small businesses that receive assistance from SBIC's. SBA uses the information to determine whether SBIC assistance is provided only to small business concerns as defined in the Small Business Investment Act of 1958 and in SBA size regulations. Without this information, businesses that exceed SBA's size standards could benefit from program resources intended only for small businesses.
