Are there any 8(a) ownership restrictions placed on nondisadvantaged individuals or firms?
Yes. SBA places two general ownership restrictions on nondisadvantaged individuals and firms: 1. A nondisadvantaged individual, in aggregate with all immediate family members, or firm that is a general partner or stockholder with at least a 10% ownership interest in an 8(a) firm, may simultaneously hold up to 10% ownership interest in any number of 8(a) firms in the developmental stage of program participation and up to 20% interest in any number of 8(a) firms in the transitional stage of program participation. 2. A non-participant concern in the same or similar line of business may own up to 10% of an 8(a) firm in the developmental stage and up to 20% in an 8(a) firm in the transitional stage. Former 8(a) participants or a principal of a former participant (except those that have been terminated from the 8(a) program) may own up to 20% in an 8(a) firm in the developmental stage and up to 30% in an 8(a) firm in the transitional stage.
