Why businesses hire our 8a certification consultants to complete their 8a applications.
-
To Save Valuable Time - Unless you have some experience with the 8a certification process, it may take you several months to complete your 8a application. Having your 8a certification application returned for errors just once can cost you a 3 month delay. The SBA has made it easier to apply for an 8a certification by creating an online application. What most first time applicants don’t understand is that the online 8a application is only a small part of the 8a application process.
-
To Get It Right The First Time - Nearly 90% of all 8a certification applications are returned for one reason or the other. The majority of those applications were submitted by individuals who prepared their own 8a certification application. Incomplete applications and missing documents can cost you time and money. Once your 8a application is submitted, the SBA has up to 90 days to review your 8a application and to let you know if there are any problems with your application. If there is a problem with your 8a application the SBA will notify you of most of the problems but not all, it will be up to you to check your application and make sure that everything is in order. Once you re-submit your 8a certification application the SBA will have another 90 days to review and respond. At this point if there are any other problems with your application the SBA will return your application and will let you know how much time you have to fix the problems. If you are unable to fix the problems with your application, your 8a certification application will be denied. A completed 8a certification application with all of its supporting documentation is a couple of hundred pages long. Are you really prepared to put all of those documents together for your 8a certification.
-
To Avoid having your 8a certification application denied by the SBA - Nearly 70% of all 8a certification applications submitted are denied by the SBA. If your 8a application is denied you will have to wait 12 months before you can re-apply again. You must fully understand the 8a certification requirements before spending time and money on your 8a certification application. The SBA has a number of 8a certification regulations which when not followed by the applicant can mean a complete rejection of your application. Before we begin your 8a application we perform a complete analysis of you and your business to make sure you qualify for the 8a certification program.
