Event description
The U.S. Small Business Administration Baltimore District Office is hosting a live online event to introduce small business owners to the 8(a) Business Development Program.
The 8 (a) program is a robust nine-year program created to help firms owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. Businesses that participate in the program receive training and technical assistance designed to strengthen their ability to compete effectively in the federal marketplace. SBA partners with federal agencies to promote maximum utilization of 8(a) program participants to ensure equitable access to contracting opportunities in the federal marketplace.
This webinar will provide an overview of the program, program benefits, program qualifications, how to apply to get certified as an 8(a) small business, and how to maintain eligibility and certification.
