SBA Determination
If you receive an approval letter, SBA will send an acceptance package for you to sign. Once SBA receives the signed package, your 9 years in the 8(a) Business Development program begins.
If you receive a decline letter, you may request reconsideration on the decision within 45 days. Click on your 8(a) application to visit the Application Overview page. This page shows you your options and provides a link to the decision letter that goes into more detail about why you were declined.
