About
The U.S. Small Business Administration’s 8(a) program is designed to help socially and economically disadvantaged entrepreneurs access government contracting opportunities.

Feb. 22: Preparations to apply and a documents checklist
Feb. 23: A deep dive into the application, covering topics such as basic eligibility, business ownership, and control
Feb. 24: Further information on the application, including potential for success, contributors, disadvantaged individuals, non-disadvantaged individuals, and spouses of disadvantaged individuals
Feb. 25: Submitting an application, tips, Q&A, and what happens after submission
