Small Business Mentor-Protege Programs

Abstract

Mentor-protege programs are designed to assist small business development, focusing on enhancing the protege's capacity to serve as either a prime contractor or a subcontractor in federal contracts. These programs typically seek to pair new businesses and more experienced businesses in mutually beneficial relationships. Proteges may receive financial, technical, or management assistance from mentors in obtaining and performing federal contracts or subcontracts, or serving as suppliers under such contracts or subcontracts, whereas mentors may receive credit toward subcontracting goals, reimbursement of certain expenses, or other incentives for assisting proteges.
