Sponsored by the SBA, the 8(a) certification program is an ownership diversity campaign. The certification is aimed to assist organizations that are 51 percent owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.
The 8(a) Certification’s primary goal is to help disadvantaged small businesses go on and thrive in a competitive business environment once the nine-year program is completed.
