LVL-Up Strategies Receives 8(a) Designation from the SBA

Washington, D.C. – September 5, 2024 – LVL-Up Strategies, a fast-growing management consulting firm, proudly announces its acceptance into the U.S. Small Business Administration’s (SBA) 8(a) Business Development Program. This milestone marks a pivotal moment in the company’s goals to expand on its mission. LVL-Up Strategies, founded in 2020, provides equitable growth opportunities for small businesses and eligible family members of the military and Foreign Service. With the SBA 8(a) designation, LVL-Up Strategies is better positioned to bring that same progress to government programs in need.

The SBA’s 8(a) Program offers small businesses a unique opportunity to develop and grow through access to federal contracts and competitive advantages. This designation provides LVL-Up Strategies with invaluable resources that include mentorship, training, and government contracting support, positioning the company to take its business to the next level.

“This is an important program for small businesses to have a seat at the table and gain visibility when competing against so many established groups for contracts,” said Laura Jennings, Chief Strategy Officer of LVL-Up Strategies. “This designation signifies big things for LVL-Up in the future. After less than five years in business, it demonstrates our commitment to helping the EFM community through careers while also extending our knowledge to support government programs directly as a contractor.”

LVL-Up’s commitment to its mission has been unwavering since its founding, particularly in the area of supporting military families and access to business acumen for micro businesses. Founder and Chief Executive Officer Rona Jobe added, “It can be a painful process to relive these experiences when applying, but to have it result in something as powerful as the 8(a) designation is a key step in the process of healing and empowerment.”

The 8(a) designation allows LVL-Up to further expand its work with government agencies and continue making an impact by leveraging its expertise in developing efficient, inclusive solutions for its clients.
