Is there an easier
way to apply?
If you are currently certified by the SBA
as an 8(a) and/or SDB firm, you may be eligible for a
streamlined certification application process. Under this process, the
certifying agency to which you are applying will accept your current SBA
application package in lieu of requiring you to fill out and submit this form.
NOTE: You must still meet the
requirements for the DBE program, including undergoing an on-site review.
3) Be sure to submit all of the required documents listed
in the Supporting Documents Checklist at the
end of your application. Failure to do so will delay the application process.
Additional
information on how to submit the required documents listed in the Documents
Check List will be provided at the end of the Georgia Uniform Certification
Application form.
