U.S. Small Business Administration Counseling Client Agreement

Client Agreement: I request business counseling services from an SBA Resource Partner. I authorize SBA or its agents to furnish relevant information to the assigned management counselor(s). I further understand that the counselor(s) agrees not to: 1) recommend goods or services in which he/she has an interest, and 2) accept fees or commissions derived from this counseling relationship. In consideration of the counselor(s) furnishing management or technical assistance, I waive all claims against SBA personnel and those of its Resource Partners and host organizations arising from this assistance. I understand that any information disclosed will be protected to the extent permitted by law. (SBA or its agents will not provide your personal information to commercial entities.)

Use of Information: The information in this form is to be provided by individuals and businesses seeking technical assistance services from SBA Resource Partner. The information is collected to help SBA’s continuing improvement of business counseling programs, to ensure effective oversight and management of entrepreneurial development programs and grants, and to meet Congressional and Executive Branch reporting requirements. The form should be submitted at the site of service to the counselor providing the service. Resource Partners will submit information to SBA according to the terms of their notice of award.
