SBA Forms 2181, 2182 and 2183 provide SBA with the necessary information to make informed and proper decisions regarding the approval or denial of an applicant for a small business investment company (SBIC) license. SBA uses this information to assess an applicant's ability to successfully operate an SBIC within the scope of the Small Business Investment Act, as amended.
Annual hour burden and annual cost burden have decreased because the estimated number of respondents has been reduced to reflect the fact that SBA is currently licensing only debenture and non-leveraged SBICS.
