The SBA Mentor-Protégé Program pairs an approved mentor business with a protégé business to provide assistance in business development. Mentors provide various forms of assistance including technical, management, financial, and subcontracting support to help protégés improve capabilities and meet business plan goals. Mentors and protégés can also jointly pursue government contracts through an exclusion from affiliation rules. The program aims to enhance protégé competitiveness and successful SBA 8(a) program participation.
