This package is necessary for those applicants that are not part of the SBA presumed disadvantaged groups (African American, Hispanic American, Native American, Asian-Pacific Islander American, Subcontinent Asian American).
This starts with a two-hour phone interview with you. In this interview we will ask questions about your history and experiences. This will cover your personal life story, your family, your work history, and your education. You must have experienced prejudice inside the United States in circumstances that were outside your control. We will then write your 8(a) certification social disadvantage narrative.
This narrative will be an extremely important part of your application. You should remember that even if the memories of discrimination are painful, the fact that you experienced them is one of the reasons why you qualify for 8(a) certification.

The 8(a) Certification is widely regarded as the most transformative certification a business can possess. Routinely businesses entering the program start with little to no federal sales experience and a few years into the program are selling millions of dollars’ worth. Like every other good deal there is a catch. The SBA has a very rigorous application process that according to the SBA’ historical averages only has a 25% approval rate, firms still know best practices for taking advantage of this program, and the program duration for its participants is only nine years.
This webinar is designed for both individuals that are totally new to hearing about the 8(a) program, but goes into enough detail where someone that has prior knowledge about 8(a) through federal contracting can still learn many of the intricacies of the program. If you have interest in the 8(a) program and would like to bring yourself up to speed this is a recommended webinar for you.
