SBA 8(a) Program
A comprehensive program designed to support small businesses by offering mentorship, and access to contracts to empower socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses for sustainable growth.
SBA 8a Business Program
Unleash Potential with SBA 8(a) Excellence.
Carter Enterprise Solutions, LLC is qualified for Department of Defense (DoD) and Federal Agency Sole-Source, Set-Aside and Competitive Procurements. The government’s goal is to award five percent or more of all prime and subcontracting dollars to small disadvantaged businesses each year. We are here to help meet small business goals with Set-Aside and Sole-Source contract eligibility. Sections 7(j)(10) and 8(a) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. §§ 636(j)(10) and 637(a)) authorizes the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) to establish a business development program, which is known as the 8(a) Business Development program. The 8(a) program is a robust nine-year program created to help firms owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.
As a certified, 8(a) program participants are eligible to receive federal contracting preferences and receive training and technical assistance designed to strengthen their ability to compete effectively in the American economy.
General Scope:
The SBA 8(a) Business Development program offers various benefits, including:
Access to Federal Contracts: Eligible businesses gain exclusive access to government contracts, providing a significant avenue for revenue and growth.
Mentorship and Training: Participants receive mentorship from experienced business leaders and access to specialized training programs, enhancing their business acumen.
Set-Aside Opportunities: Federal contracts are sometimes set aside specifically for 8(a) participants, increasing the chances of securing lucrative opportunities.
Business Development Assistance: The program offers assistance in navigating the complexities of business development, fostering strategic planning and sustainable growth.
Sole-Source Contracts: 8(a) firms can receive sole-source contracts up to a certain dollar value without the need for competitive bidding, expediting the procurement process.
Networking Opportunities: Participants become part of a community of 8(a) businesses, providing networking opportunities, collaborations, and potential partnerships.
Financial Assistance: The program offers access to SBA-backed loans, bonding assistance, and other financial tools to support business operations and expansion.
Competitive Edge: Certification as an 8(a) business enhances credibility and competitiveness in the marketplace, opening doors to a broader range of business opportunities.
Graduation Benefits: After successfully completing the program, businesses may still receive support through the 8(a) Mentor-Protégé Program and access to other SBA initiatives.
These benefits collectively empower our company to overcome challenges, stimulate growth, and establish a strong foundation for long-term success.
