8(a) Certification Services           Call 803-275-0663

8(a) Certification is the hidden "oil well" in Government contracting -- it provides tremendous opportunities for drastically increased revenues and profits.  It is widely considered to be the very best small business program.  It opens the most doors and provides the greatest opportunities, such as sole source awards, set asides, & preferential treatment in contracting.

We offer services for every need and every budget -- from the "do-it yourselfer" who wants to tackle the job on their own to the person who wants us to prepare the complete application for them. We even offer services for someone who wants something between the two.

Our 8(a) services include the following:
