What You Need to Know About the 8(a) Program
Join is us in celebrating National Small Business Week 2023!
-------------------------
The federal government's goal is to award at least 5% of all federal contracting dollars to small disadvantaged businesses each year. If your small business is owned and controlled by socially or economically disadvantaged individuals, you may be eligible for a program that can help you tap into this slice of the government market.
Administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA), this is a 9-year program that provides training and technical assistance to allow disadvantaged firms to strengthen their ability to compete in the American economy. Participating in this program is a way for you to tap into special benefits in federal contracting.
