8a certification might not help you in that case. I recommend you speak with potential customers and ask them what contracting vehicle they use and whether 8a certification would help.

Hello I have contacted the SBA in regards to WOSB. My husband and I started a company years ago and we tried to apply for WOSB in 2021 because we set the business up as equal partners however we have since changed the Articles of Organization to reflect I now own 51% but the old application is still showing him as owner and when I tried to reapply as me as owner I couldn't update it. What do I need to do?

Ma’am, I’m putting serious consideration into becoming a Gov Contractor as a small business. Now, currently I carry a Secret and have been a network engineer for a near decade. I also was born deaf in my left ear and hard of hearing in my right. So I am registered as disabled under the ADA. In part of this process I am learning, in part by you. Thanks to previous videos you have created. But my question, if you could be so kind to help. Is there a certification eligible for a civilian disabled small business? Also, have you or those around your circle been awarded IT contracts? I haven’t come across tutorials in that service yet here on YT. Thank you!VR
@FedAccess

I think the question to ask is, Can I get 8a certification? 8a is a great program, and lots of IT companies do really well in the 8a program. So I suggest you see if you can qualify for that

You don't need to apply for certifications in order to bid on government contracts. Lots of government contracts are open to any small business - no additional certifications required. However, if you are just getting started, you may want to start out as a subcontractor. Check out my videos on subcontracting.

Hello! I can't seem to find the answer to this question. I'm hoping you can help! What is the best way to structure our LLC if we have a Woman Disabled Veteran and two Male Disabled Veterans. Would it be better to have the woman as the CEO or one of the men? All are disabled vets, but I'm guessing the woman designation will allow us to access more contracts? We are new so we won't qualify for 8a yet. Your content is amazing, thank you for putting all the time in to help all of us:)
@FedAccess
@FedAccess Год назад
The 8(a) certification is the real prize, so first, I would think about whether you want to structure the company in a way to qualify for 8(a) certification. Even though you won't be applying for 8(a) certification now, how you structure the company today will affect your certification in the future. I would start by learning all the details on 8(a) certification. You can read the 8(a) regulations online, at the SBA website. You could also sit down with a PTAC counselor and ask them to go over all the details on the requirements for 8(a) certification. There are also some law firms that specialize in this.

It depends on the contract. The solicitation will tell you. There are some contracts that require that the company be owned by citizens, others do not. Also, there are some contracts that require that the work be performed by citizens. Read the solicitation for the contract to find out the requirements for the contract that you are interested in.

For the woman-owned program, the certification requires US citizenship and operations based in the US. I have a video that will be posted on Monday that explains the program for woman-owned small businesses. Also be sure to check out the SBA website at SBA.gov to delve into the details on all the programs. Be sure to read the details on the 8(a) program, because that is the best program, if you qualify.
