INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 09, 2017 -- DBISP LLC, a small, minority-owned business, announced today that it is now certified as an 8(a) small business from the Small Business Administration. President of DBISP LLC, John Miller, says “SBA 8(a) Certification is a fantastic achievement for us. 2016 was an amazing year with great achievements and challenging objectives that we reached and exceeded. We look forward to working with the SBA.”
The SBA 8(a) Business Development Program assists small, disadvantaged businesses by allowing them to compete for sole source government contracts for goods and services. Certification into the SBA 8(a) Business Development Program is a stringent process in which the business needs to be controlled and owned by an individual that is at least 51% socially or economically disadvantaged. The program spans over nine years with a four year developmental stage and five year transition stage. Within that time, SBA closely monitors the progress of the business on each stage to make sure they are accomplishing their goals.
