In the MySBA Certifications application process, the EO process will be initiated by the applicant business. From there, Controlling Entities can establish themselves as an approved Controlling Entity, manage subsidiaries and contributors, and view their application progress. Below is a high-level view of the roles of each user in the MySBA Certifications EO application process:
Entity-Owned Applicant BusinessBusinesses:
Request EO connection with an existing Controlling Entity
Note: Applicant firms can complete and submit an application before their connection request is approved. Rejected EO applications Applications with rejected EO connection requests will be pushed back to the applicant business and they the applicant business will have to request connection with another Controlling Entity or restart their application as a non-EO applicant business.
Initiate a New Controlling Entity Request form
Note: This is the only way a new Controlling Entity can be established in MySBA Certifications. EO applicant firms may proceed with the application process but will not be able to submit their application until the Controlling Entity has been approved. If their Controlling Entity Request form has been denied, the EO applicant business must request connection with another firm Controlling Entity or restart their application as a non-EO applicant business.
