For companies considering becoming 8(a) certified, taking a closer look at the average sales by State for both 8(a) firms compared with small businesses in federal contracting overall, might make your decision easier. As you can see from the data below, average 8(a) firms do many times the sales of their small business peers. This is important to realize because, in the current economic downturn, the value of an 8(a) Certification can provide much needed revenue support for eligible firms.

As you can see, possession of an 8(a) Certification makes all the difference in the world, especially during an economic downturn. If you are interested in exploring an 8(a) Certification, I always recommend contacting an industry expert such as ez8a or Advance 8a. Neither charge for an initial consultation.
