The mission of the Small Business Ombudsman is to be the primary advocate between the small business community and the Census Bureau. The Ombudsman serves to advocate positions directed at reducing business reporting burden, facilitating reporting, improving data access, and recognizing changes in businesses that impact the ability to report information to the Census Bureau.
