First, congratulations on getting 8(a) Certified.

Here is what you must do next:

• You must sign and mail the 8(a) Participation Agreement and then provide it to the office address indicated in your SBA approval letter/email. The SBA will then assign your business to an SBA analyst in your local SBA office.
• Attend a mandatory 8(a) orientation meeting, which the SBA will schedule as mentioned within the letter/email received.
• You must also prepare and submit your 8(a) Business Plan to your local district office, generally within the 30 days of becoming 8(a) Certified. We suggest you get started on this as soon as possible so you can deliver the business plan to your SBA analyst during your orientation or even sooner if you have a pending 8(a) contract opportunity.

We work one-on-one with you to ensure that your 8(a) Business Plan clearly describes your business and its plans for success while operating in the SBA 8(a) Program.

We start by conducting a very detailed one (1) hour phone call where will obtain about 80% of the required information to prepare your 8(a) Business Plan. The other 20% is completed through our worksheets that we have developed over the years.

Our worksheets will help facilitate the collection of the remaining information needed to finalize your 8(a) Business plan.

We also do the required financial forecasting and the cash flow projections using realistic algorithms we know will be accepted by the SBA.

At the conclusion of this service, you will receive an electronic version of your 8(a) Business Plan that will be ready to be submitted to the SBA.

You will also have a plan that you can update yearly, or as needed, without the need to come back to us to have it updated annually.

If you already have a traditional commercial business plan then you are off to a great start.

Some of the information within your traditional commercial business plan may carry over to the 8(a) Business Plan, but chances are that it will not contain all 52 elements that the SBA requires within the 8(a) Business Plan or Form 1010c.

Your 8(a) Business Plan can be completed in as little as 1 to 2 weeks.

We advise any newly 8(a) Certified participant to begin the process immediately.

Failure to submit the 8(a) Business Plan within 30 days, after formal 8(a) Certification, can possibly result in grounds for termination from the SBA 8(a) Program.

Most 8(a) Business plans are approved by your SBA 8(a) Business Plan in a matter of days.

We suggest you get started on your 8(a) Business Plan as soon as possible so you can deliver the business plan to your SBA analyst during your mandatory orientation session or even sooner if you have a pending 8(a) contract opportunity.

100% of the 8(a) business plans prepared for our clients are accepted by the SBA.
