After getting your 8a status, serious issues can range from violation of Ostensible Subcontractor Rules, SBA affiliation challenges in small business size protests and ultimately termination from the 8a Program.
Applying for 8a status can be cumbersome and stressful. The SBA requires a vast amount of reports, documents, and information that is heavily scrutinized. Since the program is not only for minority-owned businesses, our SBA 8a certification consultants also help non-minorities to get their 8a status.
