Each year, companies graduate from the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Business Development 8(a) Program, with the potential and capabilities to grow into successful businesses.
SBA’s 8(a) Program helps firms develop and grow through one-on-one counseling, training workshops, management, and technical guidance.
It also provides access to government contracting opportunities, which allows the companies to become solid competitors in the federal marketplace. In fiscal year 2018, small businesses received more than $17.6 billion in 8(a) contract dollars.
