The SBA 8(a) Business Development Program is a certification that businesses with economically and socially disadvantaged business owners can receive. Enrollment into the program is contingent on eligibility requirements and only lasts for a total of 9 years. It is an elite group of businesses, and you could be a part of them.

Making Money with Government Contracts has Never Been Easier!

Select GCR helps people who are defined as socially disadvantaged by the US Government to acquire certification and ultimately the procurement of Government contracts. Socially disadvantaged people are categorized as people who have been subjected to prejudices and biases based on their racial, ethnic, and cultural characteristics. The prejudices must be from American society and based on being a member of a group and not their own individual characteristics. Being disadvantaged must also come from circumstances out of their control.

More Money for Disadvantaged Businesses
There’s never been a better time to become registered!

 

Previously, 5% of prime contracts had to be awarded to 8(a) certified businesses. This percentage has since increased to 11% of all Federal contracting dollars spent and is in line to be 15% next year. 

Despite this exciting opportunity, less than 1% of disadvantaged businesses are certified and benefiting from these set aside contracts. It’s because business owners are busy and their time is better spent focused on the business. Let our experts keep you from wasting hours trying to decipher exactly what is needed to be included within each section of the application.

  If you’re not familiar with the process, it can be challenging. Many applications are denied each year due to minor errors, omissions, or insufficient supporting evidence.

The longer the process takes, the more costly it can become.
Do you have countless hours to spare? We didn’t think so!

We’ll work side-by-side with you throughout the 8(a) application process.
Our certifcation experts help you prepare documentation, and provide templates and examples for your narrative. They also review and submit your application, and follow through until approved and awarded.
