How many companies participate in the SBA 8a program?

There are about 9,800-10,000 companies nationwide at any given time. Remember that there is a 9-year time limit, so companies move off the list. And there are some companies that fall off during their active years because they fail to submit the annual paperwork.

fyi...Of the active companies, only about 3.5-4% (375) are Caucasian woman owned.
