The SBA could see it differently, especially if you’re affiliated with another company (or two) without realizing it.\nFor small business set-aside contracts, including socioeconomic set-asides like the 8(a) program, a federal contractor must meet the SBA’s size standards. These size standards vary by industry and solicitation and are based on either average annual receipts or the number of employees. But size alone doesn’t tell the whole story. Many small businesses are surprised to learn that they could be deemed affiliated with other entities based on factors such as ownership, management, family relationships, or subcontracting. If the SBA finds companies affiliated, it will combine the receipts or employees of the various companies, which can disqualify a company from small business programs.\n\nIn this training, you will learn:\n\nHow the SBA determines business size using receipts or employee counts\nWhen and how size standards apply in federal contracting\nCommon size determination pitfalls small businesses face\nThe SBA’s concept of affiliation and why it matters (and doesn’t always match up with common sense)\nThe various SBA rules governing affiliation, and what does not trigger affiliation\nHow sharing resources, including subcontracts, in certain contexts could trigger affiliation\nExamples of affiliation inspired by actual situations\nTips for avoiding unintended affiliation and staying compliant\nWhat happens if you’re found “other than small”—and how to respond\n\nWhether you’re new to federal contracting or looking to grow your small business through set-aside opportunities or partnering with small businesses, this session will give you the tools to know about small business size standards, affiliation, and positioning your company to play by these rules. \n\nTarget Audience: \n\nNew entrants to government contracting who need to understand what can disqualify them from small business status;\nEstablished small businesses looking to grow through partnerships (e.g., joint ventures or subcontracts) and unaware of how those relationships might affect their size status;\nCompanies pursuing or participating in SBA programs such as 8(a) Business Development Program; Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB); Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and HUBZone;\nConsultants or advisors who work with small government contractors on compliance or business development\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]\n
