SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SBA Form 2181, Management Assessment
Questionnaire and License Application (MAQ), which includes the Pre-
screen SBIC MAQ (Short Form), SBIC MAQ (Long Form), SBIC Subsequent

to make decisions regarding the approval or denial of an applicant for
a small business investment company (SBIC) license. SBA uses this

potential applicant is qualified for an SBIC license.
