Learn to Minimize Common Problems with the 8(a) Application presented by the SBA

Event description

In-person Event: The SBA’s 8(a) Business Development program is one of the most powerful federal government certification programs that permit eligible, certified businesses to obtain sole source and limited competition contracting opportunities. To ensure that applicant businesses are eligible for certification, the SBA conducts a thorough review of an applicant’s business – including review of business documents, company tax returns, personal tax returns for some owners, and on-site interviews. However, due to the overall complexity of the application and its underlying regulations, many applicants have trouble achieving certification, or their applications languish in the evaluation process. Attendees will be briefed by the UCF SBDC Apex Accelerator program regarding free technical assistance available to all small businesses in the government contracting area.

This event is sponsored by the Florida SBDC at UCF.
