Grandparenting - Write Your SBA 8a Social Disadvantage Narrative

“Socially disadvantaged individuals are those who have been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice or cultural bias because of their identity as members of a group. Social disadvantage must stem from circumstances beyond their control.”

In the absence of evidence to the contrary, individuals who are members of the following designated groups are presumed to be socially disadvantaged: - Members of other groups designated by the SBA.” (other groups includes Caucasian women)

What evidence must an individual who is not a designated group member provide to show social disadvantage? “At least one objective distinguishing feature that has contributed to social disadvantage, such as race, ethnic origin, gender, physical handicap, long-term residence in an environment isolated from the mainstream of American society, or other similar causes not common to individuals who are not socially disadvantaged” – SBA Web site

What types of evidence can be used to assist in meeting the burden of proof? Statistics and generalized patterns are not sufficient by themselves to establish a case of individual social disadvantage. “However, an individual’s statement of personal experiences in combination with the generalized evidence may be sufficient to demonstrate social disadvantage.” – SBA Web site

Why is this important? Because, Y-O-U can write your own social narrative!

Now that you know the fundamentals, it is time to focus on applying online for SBA 8(a) status AND writing your social narrative.

Is it intimidating? YES, but you can successfully apply for SBA 8(a) status WITHOUT PAYING SOMEONE ELSE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, it is NOT that difficult. I did it, so can you!

Beginning with an extensive Internet research, I located several companies that would help me prepare the whole packet (which I didn’t need the whole service) or the narrative but, the prices were outrageous! My budget would not justify hiring these consultants for hundreds or thousands of dollars. After recovering from sticker shock, I was even more determined to complete this application process and social narrative ON MY OWN as a personal challenge.

I invested over 80 hours of in-depth personal research, calling the SBA office in D.C., interviewing recent 8a designees and compiling a list of criteria to include in my own social narrative. Coming from a project management background, I kept notes on all of the processes, resources and tips. After organizing my materials, I completed the SBA application online and then produced a seven page narrative, submitted electronically to the SBA. In about a week, my company received 8a status.
