Each newly certified SBA 8(a) Participant must develop a comprehensive 8(a) business plan (Form 1010c) setting forth its business targets, objectives, and goals.
Typically your 8(a) Business Plan must be submitted within 30 days from the date of its 8(a) program admission. Your 8(a) firm will not be eligible for 8(a) program benefits, including 8(a) contracts, until its 8(a) business plan is approved.
Failure to provide an 8(a) Business Plan in a timely manner and receive approval can result in early termination by the SBA.
The 8(a) business plan must address all 52 of the SBA Form 1010c questions and contain the following information:
(1) A detailed description of any products currently being produced and any services currently being performed by the concern, as well as any future plans to enter into one or more new markets;
(2) The applicant’s designation of its primary industry classification.
(3) An analysis of market potential, competitive environment, and the concern’s prospects for profitable operations during and after its participation in the 8(a) program;
(4) An analysis of the concern’s strengths and weaknesses, with particular attention on ways to correct any financial, managerial, technical, or work force conditions which could impede the concern from receiving and performing non-8(a) contracts;
(5) Specific targets, objectives, and goals for the business development of the concern during the next two years;
(6) Estimates of both 8(a) and non-8(a) contract awards that will be needed to meet its targets, objectives and goals; and
(7) Such other information as SBA may require.
