Client Case Study 1
Location: South Carolina
Industry: Industrial Services
A South Carolina based Industrial Services firm, before getting into the 8(a) program, the company was very small and had less than $50,000 a year in revenue. The owner was determined to get the 8(a) certification because he believed it would open the door to
the company’s growth, but he honestly didn’t know where and how to start. He trusted the ez8a process was very cooperative, and followed every requirement and suggestion we had for him. We also helped him get HUBZone and DBE certifications.When his 8(a) was approved, he was extremely grateful and excited to have the opportunity he had longed for, finally.
Once the company was in the 8(a) program, its growth really took off. By YE 2023, their revenue jumped from below $50,000 to almost $1,000,000. The big turning point came in their second year, when they got their first sole-source 8(a) contract, followed by several more awards. Each project provided them with more experience, stronger past performance, and a steady income to build upon.

A Virginia based consulting services firm before getting into the 8(a) program, was small — bringing in under $300,000 a year. The owner is optimistic, a cheerful person who knew the 8(a) certification could be the gateway to their success. Ez8a was fully engaged with taking her through the application process, answering every SBA request and making sure all requirements were met. Her confidence and commitment to the ez8a process paid off when the certification was approved, opening the door for her firm into the federal market.Once certified, the company took advantage of some of ez8a’s many marketing services and began actively marketing its services to agencies that ez8a knew needed its expertise. The owner did her homework, followed the ez8a roadmap by reaching out to the right contacts. Ez8a guided her to make sure the company’s capabilities were visible. All that effort paid off when they got their first sole-source 8(a) contract. Since then, their yearly revenue has grown steadily and remains stable, providing them with both financial stability and credibility to pursue larger opportunities.
