More than $500 Billion Dollars of Government Prime Contracts are Awarded to Small Businesses Each Year!

At this workshop participants will learn about the 8(a) Business Development Program, the benefits of being an 8(a) certified firm, and if you qualify for the 8(a) program.

If your business is owned and controlled by at least 51% or more by an economically and disadvantaged owner, have been in business for a minimum of 2 years, have a product or service you can provide to the federal government, and want to take advantage of federal contracting opportunities. Then this workshop is for you!
