Small business loans and small business grants may be awarded to companies that meet the size standards that the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has established for most industries in the economy. The most common size standards are as follows:
* 500 employees for most manufacturing and mining industries
* 100 employees for all wholesale trade industries
* $6 million for most retail and service industries
* $28.5 million for most general & heavy construction industries
* $12 million for all special trade contractors
* $0.75 million for most agricultural industries
About one-fourth of industries have a size standard that is different from the levels above and they vary from $0.75 million to $28.5 million for size standards. This is based on average annual revenues and from 100 to 1500 employees for size standards based on number of employees. With some exceptions, all federal agencies, and many state and local governments, use the size standards established by SBA.
