What happens during a registration consultation?

During your free 30-minute consultation, a registration specialist reviews your business details, discusses which registrations or certifications you may need, and explains whether paid managed support makes sense for your timeline. You leave with a clearer roadmap before making any commitment.

What registrations do I need to get government contracts?

An active SAM.gov entity registration is generally required to be eligible for a direct federal prime-contract award. Depending on your goals, you may also benefit from state vendor registrations and small business certifications such as 8(a), HUBZone, WOSB, or SDVOSB. The consultation helps you evaluate the relevant paths.

How long does the registration process take?

Allow at least 10 business days after submission for a registration to become active. Validation issues can take longer. SBA generally has 90 days to decide after receiving a complete 8(a) application package. Managed support can reduce avoidable rework, but it cannot control government validation or review time.

Is the consultation really free?

Yes, the consultation is completely free with no obligation. The consultation is for planning and fit assessment. If you decide to move forward, the underlying managed registration or certification services are paid offerings.

What should I prepare for the consultation?

Having your EIN, business address, and NAICS codes ready is helpful but not required. If you have existing registrations or certifications, those details help us give better recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before booking your consultation.

What happens during the consultation?

We review your business details, discuss your goals, and create a personalized registration roadmap. The consultation is free and helps you decide whether a paid managed-service package makes sense.

Do I need to be prepared with documents?

No document is required to book. If available, your entity details, target programs, existing records, and NAICS codes can make the discussion more specific.

How much do registration services cost?

Pricing varies by service. SAM registration itself is free through SAM.gov, and our fees apply only if you choose paid managed support. During the consultation, we explain the service options and pricing clearly.

Can I do registrations myself?

Yes. The official government application paths are available directly to businesses. Our optional paid service helps organize information and reduce avoidable rework, but government review and approval remain outside our control.

How long does registration take?

Allow at least 10 business days after submission for a registration to become active. Validation issues can take longer. SBA generally has 90 days to decide a complete 8(a) application, and targets 90 calendar days for a complete WOSB package whenever practicable. Government review can take longer when information is incomplete or additional documentation is requested.

What if I already started a registration?

We can review the status you share, identify missing information within the purchased scope, and explain available preparation support. You remain responsible for accurate information and approvals, and the government controls its review.
