SBA 8(a) Certification

In order to gain access to government and corporate contracts, you must obtain the proper certification. A small business certification is much like a personal certification. It provides you with a special status that will help your business compete for government contracts.
The Small Business Administration (SBA) offers the 8(a) Business Development Program, commonly referred to as the 8a certification, to assist small businesses that are owned by individuals who are considered socially and economically disadvantaged, by providing them access to government contracting opportunities.
The SBA 8a application process is time-consuming, but potentially priceless. You can utilize the services of an expert team of consultants from BizCentral USA to lead you through the process of applying for SBA 8a certification.

How Does The SBA 8a Application Process Work?

The SBA 8a application can be tricky. Here’s how we will guide you through the process of obtaining your SBA 8a certification.
  1. First, we will help you determine whether your business meets the five basic criteria: small business, first-time participant, disadvantaged, the potential for success, and good character.
  2. Next, we will help you register your business with the System for Award Management (SAM).
  3. Then, we will help you gather the necessary documentation to proceed with your application. Required documents may include tax returns, bank statements, business history, citizenship documentation, and more.
The SBA 8a application and certification process typically takes approximately three to four months. To ensure the process does not take longer than necessary, work with one of our knowledgeable consultants here at BizCentral USA to help you properly prepare and apply for the SBA 8a Certification.

What Are the Benefits Associated With Obtaining the SBA 8a Certification?

  • Access to more business opportunities
  • Opportunities for faster growth
  • Better pricing options
  • Allows for partnership between businesses with SBA 8a Certification and large federal prime contractors.
  • Access to Sole Source contracts, which provides inside access and opportunities to contracts with federal buyers before other businesses do.
  • Since a low number of small businesses obtain their SBA 8a Certification, there is limited competition. This allows for more money allocated to businesses with SBA 8a Certification.
Once your business has been approved and given the SBA 8a certification, you will be able to utilize these above benefits for nine years. Your business’ disadvantaged status will need to be proven every year to keep the certification.
