An SBA 8a certification gives the firm several potential advantages over rival firms in the same industry. First the US Federal Budget has approximately $13.5 Billion dollars from 25 different governmental agencies ear marked for SBA 8a firms. With roughly 9,000 SBA 8a firms this gives each 8a certified firm a governmental target of $1.5MM in revenue from the government. Many firms a few years into the program are achieving near the SBA’s maximum revenue threshold to still maintain small business status.
In addition to a $1.5MM revenue target the US Federal government gives the 8a firm a 10% pricing advantage. With the average profit margin for all firms in the US between 5-10%, this 10% pricing advantage given the same economies of scale should over double the potential profit to the 8a certified firm. |
