Let’s Be Honest about the SBA 8(a) Program

8/15/2017

2 Comments

 
One of the most valuable attributes of an individual and a business is honesty.  No one likes being lied to or taken advantage of.  Here at Holomua we pride ourselves in being honest and straightforward.  To that end, we felt it was important to put together a candid blog post about the SBA 8(a) program.  The 8(a) program is not for every business.  Hopefully, our honesty will help you determine if the program is right for you.

That is, a particular business may be considered small for one NAICS Code but other than small for another NAICS Code.
