ROCKVILLE, Md., Aug. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- IvoryCloud has been approved as a certified 8(a) business by the Small Business Administration. The 8(a) program is designed to help provide a level playing field for small businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged people or entities. This program allows IvoryCloud to:

  • Compete for set-aside and sole-source contracts in the program
  • Form joint ventures with established businesses through the SBA's mentor-protégé program
  • Receive management and technical assistance, including business training, counseling, marketing assistance, and high-level executive development

"The SBA 8(a) program is a powerful program for IvoryCloud. Since we are a small business, we simply do not have the capital to invest in a broad and robust Business Development capability. This puts a premium on picking engagements we are well qualified for, and giving Federal Customers a simplified way of getting to us. Given our past performance with the Federal Government and Fortune 500, this designation provides the Federal Government a way to quickly engage a proven implementer, get small business credit, while executing work at a competitive price." said Saunak Desai, Managing Director of IvoryCloud.

IvoryCloud will use this new designation (expires November 2027) in conjunction with its other vehicles to target strategic work at its current and prospective customer base, as well as build Joint Ventures with other qualified companies.
