Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 8(a) Business Development program?

The SBA 8(a) program is a nine-year business development program for small businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals (often minority-owned businesses). 8(a) firms can receive sole-source contracts up to $4.5 million ($7.5 million for manufacturing) and compete in set-aside competitions among 8(a) firms.

How do I apply for 8(a) certification?

Apply through SBA's certify.sba.gov portal.

Review the SBA 8(a) eligibility checklist before applying.
