    the audit part is kinda confusing for day-to-day operations. Many companies have a registered agent for where their company is located.. but they themselves do not live or go to that office. So I wonder how/if the audit is done remotely

    Have you seen people who still have a W-2 job outside their business, qualify for 8a? I’ve been told different things. For example, still being in the Army reserves.

    • @GovKidMethod
      @GovKidMethod  4 роки тому +4

      Good question. It's been my experience that you have to be working the business full-time, and for 2 years even before applying, so you would not be able to have a W-2 side job.

    Hey there, I recently got certified as a WOB, EDWOM, HUBZone, 8a, and I think another... The PTAC advisor said there are contracts available for my industry but I don't seem to find exactly what? Business is Mobile Notary and Loan Signing Company. Ty for any advice!

    Also, if we don't (for the time being) qualify for the 8(a) Program, what program will be best as a starting point?

    • @GovKidMethod
      @GovKidMethod  3 роки тому +3

      Every business starting out with low or no sales is automatically a total small business. You can start out pursuing work set aside for small businesses. There are no other “programs” comparable to 8a.

    Hey man I am trying to get into govt contracting, my company is 4 years old but we didn't do any business for the first couple years because we were working on getting licenses for our industry. I don't have 2 years of tax returns my first tax return was just filed. Do you think that would be fine? or do they NEED 2 years of tax returns. Thank you!

    • @GovKidMethod
      @GovKidMethod  4 роки тому +2

      They want to make sure you are financially stable so it will likely still be a requirement for the two years. They do workarounds sometimes, so you can contact your local sba if you really want to try. But I highly recommend that you have one year of govcon marketing and bidding under your belt before trying to apply to the program. It only lasts 9 years so you don’t want to waste the time trying to still figure things out.

    How many naics codes can you have?

    • @GovKidMethod
      @GovKidMethod  Рік тому

      You can technically have as many NAICS codes as you want. NAICS codes should be something that are somewhat fluid when you are starting out and finding your way. From 5 to a dozen or so NAICS codes is more than fine to have in your SAM.gov profile. When you bid on a contract you should make sure that code is in your profile. Every quarter you can perform maintenance and take out codes you're not using (bidding under), etc.

    I have a question about 8a . I have been doing construction for 21 years for myself. I just start a new company last month in the same line of work. It was made as a government contracting agency. Do you think it's possible to get my 8a with the two-year waver?

    • @GovKidMethod
      @GovKidMethod  3 роки тому +1

      I don’t have extensive knowledge about the waiver but what I know is it’s all about your ability to prove that you will be successful in the program. I think having the 21 years of experience could potentially help a great deal but I can’t say for sure if it would be a slam dunk. Your local SBA can help you answer this if you want to dive deeper
