ez8a helps minority and women-owned businesses meet their objectives by assisting them in obtaining an 8a Certification which is accredited by the SBA. Our experts will guide you through the 8a application process, making sure you acquire this coveted government accreditation in as little time as possible. We have years of experience in helping disadvantaged business enterprises, service disabled veterans and women-owned businesses reach their dreams through the SBA 8(a) Certification Program. This is the reason businesses across the U.S. trust us. If you want to apply for the Small Business Administration's 8a Certification you need our expert guidance. We treat every application individually and take your certification as seriously as you do. Additionally, we specialize in HUBZone Certification, which allows businesses located in areas defined by the SBA as historically underutilized, to gain access to specified government contracts. Like the 8a program, HUBZone approval by the Small Business Administration provides access to specific contracts reserved exclusively for small businesses in the United States of America. ez8a can also help with CCR registration. Accuracy and expertise are paramount on your first 8a and/or HUBZone form submission. The SBA spends a great deal of time going over your 8a application. ez8a will give each application the time and attention needed to achieve a successful outcome for your business.

Jovy was very professional. She has patience and help me in every way even when I was ready to give up. I was very fortunate to get her help.

Just got the 8a certification
Just got the 8a certification. Started on my own several times in the past, but the paperwork and requirements were difficult to navigate. Had an analyst work through multiple requests for additional information from the SBA, with this process, they had templates and assistance every step, so money well spent.

Waste of Money
I wish I could say that my experience with ez8a was wonderful, but it wasn't. The first consultant analyst assigned to me stated that we would start with the EDWOSB application first. That was the first red flag to me, as the first step needs to be the SAM.gov registration. I constantly had to follow up with her about submitting my EDWOSB application because she kept giving me excuses that she ran out out time today, or the system froze and kicked her out, etc. However, I was able to log in after a couple of attempts. Once she finally submitted the application, I logged in to check the status only to find that several pieces of information were entered incorrectly. She told me that the information carries over from the SAM.gov site, but when I checked the information in Login.gov, it was correct. Red flag #2. When I challenged her on it, she told me that it common for the personal information to have a couple of errors and that it is something that can be easily addressed in clarification with the SBA. I prefer for things to be done properly the first time-especially if I'm paying over $5000 for your company to do it. I also discovered that she never entered the information to state that my application was prepared and submitted by a consultant. Red Flag #3. The SBA asks for this information. At this point, I became so frustrated by my emails getting lost and having to resend them; repeatedly having to ask her if she was going to work on my application and only then would she log on to the site to do anything; lack of effective communication because she did not explain things clearly and I had to follow up with another email to try to understand what it was that needed to be done;
having to follow up on requests for information; not being proactive, that I reached out to her manager and asked to work with a different analyst.. I shouldn't have had to keep logging in to the beta site to see the status of my application. I did not know about the errors in my application until I logged on to view the summary myself. She either didn't review it, or failed to see the importance of communicating this to the client so they are fully up to date.
I was assigned to the senior analyst. She reiterated that I would need to show an additional $100k-$150k in revenue before they could submit my 8(a) BD application to the SBA because my sales were low for the previous 2 years and the SBA would require it. I sent an email directly to the SBA for clarification on this requirement. This was NOT true. The SBA confirmed that there is NO MINIMUM revenue requirement. Red Flag #4. At this point, I stopped communicating with anyone from ez8a and proceeded to submit my application on my own. I achieved my 8(a) certification without any help from ez8a. Save your money and your sanity by using a different consulting firm, or do it on your own.

Excellent Service
We started the initial 8(a) application by ourselves and got stalled in the process. EZ8a assisted us with the process to get the certification.
We are impressed with their professionalism and timely response.
I highly recommend them for your business if you are looking for certification needs.

Awesome to work with!
My Rep Jovy was awesome to work with from beginning to end in obtaining my SDVOSB a certification. I was a little frustrated in the beginning however, Jovy was very patient and explained everything to me in its entirety. I am now working with the company marketing team to increase my companies exposure. I will refer them to my friends and family.

We had a stalled SBA 8(a) Application. Then came EZ8A!
We had a stalled 8(a) application and clearly didn't know what kind of documents would meet the requirements SBA was looking for, then came EZ8A! Clearly they know what they are doing and breakdown things down to a level easily understood the customer, they did it for us. Jovy did a great job! attentive to details, timely responses and was very quick to make recommendations that would best answer the questions I had. I would definitely recommend EZ8A.

Great Work!
We were delighted with the services of EZ8A! The detailed process was made clear and the sequence of steps were organized so we could follow guidance easily. Trisha and Kris made a seemingly complicated path, enjoyable and we learned a lot along the way. Heidi did attractive graphics and we are ready for the marketplace! Thank you from Bell Tower Corporation!
