One Stop Shop for Small Business Licensing Act of 2025
The One Stop Shop for Small Business Licensing Act of 2025 requires the Administrator of the Small Business Administration (SBA) to continue maintaining an online resource that consolidates small business permitting and licensing requirements. The bill designates a specific SBA webpage (the page at https://www.sba.gov/business-guide/launch-your-business/apply-licenses-permits) as the “covered website,” and also covers any successor site that has a different URL but provides substantially similar information. The Administrator must keep this site publicly available and ensure that the information reflects applicable changes. In short, the bill aims to preserve a single, publicly accessible online source for licensing and permitting information to help small businesses start or operate.
Key Points
- 1The bill creates a mandatory, ongoing obligation for the SBA Administrator to maintain a centralized online resource for small business licensing and permitting requirements.
- 2The “covered website” is defined as the SBA page https://www.sba.gov/business-guide/launch-your-business/apply-licenses-permits as of May 14, 2025, and any successor site with a different URL that provides substantially the same information.
- 3The Administrator must ensure the covered website and all information on it are publicly available on and after enactment, with updates as regulatory changes occur.
- 4The definition of “covered website” includes successor sites that maintain substantially similar content, ensuring continuity even if the URL changes.
- 5The act emphasizes public access and transparency, reducing the likelihood of information gaps when licensing requirements change or when websites are reorganized.
