SBA Web Chat Will Focus on Regulatory Fairness for Small Business Owners

                                    ---

Monday, October 25, 2010, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., ET

WASHINGTON – Small business owners, who feel they are subject to excessive

or unfair federal enforcement actions, like repetitive audits or investigations,

excessive fines, threats, retaliation or some other unfair enforcement action

by a federal agency, can seek help from the U.S. Small Business Administration.

WHO:    SBA National Ombudsman Esther Vassar will host the October Web

chat on “Regulatory Fairness: What Every Small Business Should Know.” 

Vassar, who is also the assistant administrator for Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness, leads the SBA’s national effort to ensure fairness in federal

regulations on small business while working to lessen disputes between small

businesses and federal regulatory agencies.  Chat participants can get

answers to their questions about how the Office of the National Ombudsman

can help small business owners with excessive and unfair federal regulatory

enforcements, and how the national ombudsman can be an important resource

for a small business.

WHAT:    SBA’s web chat series provides small business owners with an

opportunity to discuss relevant business issues online with experts, industry

leaders and successful entrepreneurs.  Chat participants have direct, real-time

access to the web chats via questions they submit online in advance, and

during the live session.

WHEN:    October 25, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. ET - Vassar will answer questions for one hour.     

HOW:    Participants can join the live Web chat by going online to

http://web.sba.gov/livemeeting/Oct10.  Web chat participants may also post

questions before the October 25th chat by visiting www.sba.gov, and

clicking “Online Business Chat.”
