                TITLE 13--BUSINESS CREDIT AND ASSISTANCE

 

                CHAPTER I--SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

 

PART 124_8(a) BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT/SMALL DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS STATUS 

DETERMINATIONS--Table of Contents

 

                   Subpart A_8(a) Business Development

 

Sec. 124.102  What size business is eligible to participate in the 8(a) 

BD program?



    (a) An applicant concern must qualify as a small business concern as 

defined in part 121 of this title. The applicable size standard is the 

one for its primary industry classification. The rules for calculating 

the size of a tribally-owned concern, a concern owned by an Alaska 

Native Corporation, a concern owned by a Native Hawaiian Organization, 

or a concern owned by a Community Development Corporation are 

additionally affected by Sec. Sec. 124.109, 124.110, and 124.111, 

respectively.

    (b) If 8(a) BD program officials determine that a concern may not 

qualify as small, they may deny an application for 8(a) BD program 

admission or may request a formal size determination under part 121 of 

this title.

    (c) A concern whose application is denied due to size by 8(a) BD 

program officials may request a formal size determination under part 121 

of this title. A favorable determination will enable the firm to 

immediately submit a new 8(a) BD application without waiting one year.
