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.
