The principals and associates of EZCertify.com are intimately familiar with the SBA, 8(a)BD, HUBZone, woman-owned small business, and state DBE and MBE/WBE certification processes. They have been successful 8(a)BD business owners and executives. EZCertify.com also retains lawyers who specialize in minority business enterprises and who are expert in the nuances of the SBA and state certification processes.

Together, the EZCertify.com team has more than 100 years of relevant experience in the area of small and disadvantaged business.

Our entire team at EZCertify.com is of the single mind that the 8(a)BD and other certification processes are very complex, are fraught with the likelihood of "application rejection" for merely technical reasons, and tend to intimidate rather than attract otherwise qualified small businesses to these important, potentially lucrative SBA and state programs.

The application package and required attachments for all of these programs present a daunting challenge. To help potential applicants, EZCertify.com has taken a "TurboTax*-like" approach to a cumbersome, time-consuming, often confusing process. Users of the EZCertify.com 8(a) software engage in a structured interview, which breaks down the application completion process into its basic elements.

The requisite forms are available from us in a format that permits their completion on your own PC. That means you don’t have to print out, copy and finally type or hand-write your responses to hundreds of questions. We by-pass the need for you to fill out the often ambiguous forms themselves. EZCertify.com's software does this for you.

The professionals at EZCertify.com know from experience that not everyone who desires to apply for 8(a)BD, HUBZone or other certifications is qualified to participate because of the stringent regulations that govern these programs. The regulations are lengthy, complex and leave large areas open to subjective interpretation. Because of this, EZCertify has developed a quick, easy and free test that is based on years of observing and analyzing why 8(a)BD applicants fail to be certified. This free pre-qualifying test is in the form of a concise interview, because we don’t want to waste your time, energy or money if you stand little chance of being certified for any of the SBA programs. It’s better to learn this sooner rather than later, after you’ve expended months of effort and hundreds or thousands of dollars on a futile quest.

We at EZCertify.com also know that no two 8(a)BD applicants are alike. Each applicant and their business concern is unique, and may not (in rare cases) fit the mold of EZCertify.com’s software. To help these types of companies and individuals, we provide a fast, easily accessible and inexpensive means by which you can receive expert answers to what may be a unique or particularly troublesome question.

In such circumstances, applicants may email or phone their questions to EZCertify.com for a considered response. We will respond to you, either by telephone or return email, within 24 hours. Although EZCertify.com does not purport to provide legal advice or assistance, we will upon request refer you to a number of distinguished law firms that specialize in small and disadvantaged business issues. However, our own experience has exposed us to thousands of applications and situations that provide the answers that likely would correspond to your own situation.

The EZCertify.com team is pleased to see that women, other non-minority and service-disabled individuals who can claim social and economic disadvantage are now encouraged to apply for the 8(a)BD Program. It’s about time! However, we also recognize that while this "invitation" might have been sent, accessing these programs remains such an arduous task that many are likely to avoid the process because the burden of proving social and economic disadvantage is still far too onerous.

That is precisely why the EZCertify.com method includes tips, examples, definitions and cautions to assist all applicants. Women, handicapped and other non-minority individuals who are socially and economically disadvantaged now can tell their story in a compelling way that meets the strict standards found in the SBA regulations.

In brief, EZCertify.com’s mission is to assist every qualified small business in America to seek and secure 8(a)BD, HUBZone, woman-owned small business, and state certifications for the smallest time, energy and financial investment as possible.
