About this Event
The federal government aims to award 13 percent of all federal contracting dollars (15% by 2025) to certified small, disadvantaged businesses.
The SBA's 8(a) Business Development (BD) Program is a nine-year program created to assist firms owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals to strengthen their ability to compete effectively in the American economy. The 8(a) BD Program offers unique and valuable business assistance and the opportunity to compete and receive set-aside and sole-source contracts with the federal government.
Join us to learn about the 8(a) Business Development Program, program eligibility, and benefits of certification.
