This is excellent information. I was just wondering earlier today about how this program works. Then BAM this video shows up on my feed. Must be fate! I am inspired to move forward with my idea around contacting 8a firms in my area.

[@EricCoffie]

They need your help

[@Aqueenlee]

Eric I just attended a PTAC meeting and I asked if there is a list by state of 8a companies that have graduated from program or currently in program. I did not receive a straight answer. Can you tell me how I get a list? I want to research New York, NJ & Philly targets.

[@rickiesmith413]

Just found you. Wow, you are a God-send. I’m in the beginning stage of developing a product to sell to the government. Found out about contracts and saw your videos. Thank you sir!

[@EricCoffie]

Rickie, Glad you are enjoying the videos. We are working on a program for startup companies looking to sell their product to the government.

@@EricCoffie can you please let me know what this program is called Eric? I am in the process of starting a company with a few partners and getting the certifications we need to bid on Fed Contracts, and could really use some help. Thanks

[@dayapo5132]

So does the SBA get paid by providing services to your business? Do get a portion of each contract, since everything is negotiated through them?

[@EricCoffie]

No they do not

[@jl4768]

Hi Eric, thanks for the video. Do you have any recommendations for companies or law offices that prepare 8a applications? Thanks

[@EricCoffie]

[@debelleagency8899]

How long is a typical 8a contract (range)? I know it's different per industry, but is it usually months-long or weeks long? What's the average range of length per contract?

[@EricCoffie]

5 days - 5 years

[@debelleagency8899]

Can you be a new company and enter into program?

[@EricCoffie]

No

[@monkeykings9485]

I am wondering if I would be able to bid On FBO if I’m from Europe

[@EricCoffie]

Of course. 100%.

[@monkeykings9485]

Thank you 😊🤩

[@jamescarpenter3657]

Eric, could you make a video about how to set up a Wide Area Work Flow account in order to get paid? I have recently set one up, but there were many options during the setup process and I'm not entirely sure if I did it correctly. The last thing I want is to complete a job and not be able to get paid. Thanks

[@EricCoffie]

James we want to make sure you get paid ... so I'll put something together

Thinking of joining your class watched lots of your videos. Would your course help me with the basics of bidding for contracts? Need knowledge on bidding, just need to know basics of how GOVCON works. I'm MBE certified, waiting on my DBE certification. Will 8a in 2020. I'm a certified freight Broker. BoylandShipping.com. Would like to talk about your class. Also read your book, got it off amazon. Hope all is well.

[@EricCoffie]

Mr. Boyland we receive a lot of inquiries about brokerage services. Keep watching the free videos and when you're ready to decide to jump into the actual course we will be here. www.govcongiants.com
