The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is seeking public comments on a request to extend a program that collects feedback from small businesses and their investors. The goal is to better understand how the SEC’s Office of the Advocate for Small Business Capital Formation can effectively serve this community through outreach and educational materials. The feedback will address demographic details, opinions on educational content, and challenges small businesses face. Public comments on this information collection are invited, with a deadline for submission of May 12, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The SEC wants to know how it can help small businesses better, so it's asking people to share their thoughts, but it's not clear how they'll keep people's information safe or use it to make rules better.
