To help provide a level playing field for small businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged people or entities, the government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses that participate in the 8(a) Business Development program.
The certification gives firms a significant competitive advantage in the government marketplace. This session will be led by representatives from the Small Business Administration who will offer tips and tricks for completing the 8a certification process followed by information on what happens after you are certified and how to make the most of the business development program. Bring your questions.
