 How Should the Government Define a Small Architecture Firm?
Survey Name: How Should the Government Define a Small Architecture Firm?
Survey Description: According to the Small Business Administration (SBA), in most non-manufacturing industries a small business is one that has no more than $7 million in annual average receipts. Landscape architect and interior design businesses are defined as small if they are at or below that $7 million threshold. However, the SBA defines a small architectural business as having no more than $4.5 million in average annual receipts. The same goes for engineering businesses. The SBA explains how it derives at these figures, based on a number of factors. Is that fair? Being a small business opens a world of loans and assistance and even government contracting opportunities. Are some small-but-not-small-enough-by-SBA-standards architecture firms (i.e., those that are between $4.5 million and $7 million) at a competitive disadvantage? Or are the numbers right?
