The SBA will begin accepting applications for its expanded mentor-protégé program on Oct. 1, 2016. Applications must be submitted through the SBA's new website. The site provides a list of questions you can answer to determine if your company meets the criteria to participate and a checklist of documents you will need to get started. So, if you are interested in participating in the new program, it’s time to take action.
