One way for small business owners to gain traction in federal contracting is through the 8(a) certification, the SBA’s program for socially and economically disadvantaged firms. Through the 8(a) program, billions of dollars worth of contracts are set aside for only 8(a) certified firms. Learning to correctly certify under the 8(a) program gives a company the opportunity to take advantage of set aside contracts and specialized business training – thus increasing chances of success.
As part three of this training session, Ann Sullivan, WIPP Government Relations and Give Me 5 instructor, will help business owner Regina LePak of Frances Construction, Inc., learn the ins and outs of 8(a) certification.
During the one-hour webinar, Ann will discuss the process of becoming 8(a) certified, how a business owner can use the certification to their advantage, and the potential pitfalls to avoid once certified.
