Please answer these questions:
1) Would you pay someone to fill out an application for a credit card?
2) Do you want to make a simple process more complicated?
3) Are you lazy?

If you answered YES, to one or more of the above, then totally reconsider if you want to get SBA 8a certified, because you don't have the right stuff to success in the business world even if you got certified.

Since mentoring many small business hopefuls, I have come to realize a very disturbing fact. Many very bright and hopeful female entrepreneurs have crossed my office threshold with the mistaken idea that just being a woman gives them an advantage over their male counterparts. Sadly, this is not as true as we have been led to believe.

Certainly the female population of today is much better off than their mothers or grandmothers, but obtaining financial support, loans is not viewed by bankers any differently than it is for male entrepreneurs.
