Business Development 

Bridge Capital Global offers application assistance with the Small Business Administration "SBA" for 8(a) Certification.  We evaluate and discuss the requirements and materials needed for certification. 

 

Our initial consultation consists of:

​

   1    Determining eligibility and review qualification requirements.

   2    Review letter of engagement and non-disclosure agreement to protect your privacy.

   3    Review application checklist

​

The Benefits of the 8(a) Business Development Program include:

​

• Access to sole-source and competitive set-aside contracts

• Business development assistance from dedicated Business Opportunity Specialists

• Assistance from federal procurement experts

• Opportunities to create joint ventures with established businesses

• Priority access to federal surplus property

​

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. Once certified, 8(a) program participants are eligible to receive federal contracting preferences and receive training and technical assistance designed to strengthen their ability to compete effectively in the American economy.

​

Participation in the 8(a) program is one-time-only for firms and individuals with the exception of entity-owned firms. Alaska Native corporations, Tribal-owned Native Hawaiian organizations, and Community Development Corporations may have multiple 8(a) firms. Some firms may be eligible for the 8(a) program, but they may not be ready to contract with the federal government.

​

Before you can participate in the 8(a) program you must be certified by SBA.
