Six free tools built for 8(a) contractors, SDVOSBs, and HUBZone firms thinking about what comes next. Quantify your revenue at risk, model your partnership options, and understand your contract vehicle exposure — before graduation day arrives.
Each tool is free and requires no signup. Built specifically for government contractors — not generic business exit tools adapted for federal contracting.
The transition landscape is different for each certification type. Federal Exit tools work for all federal contractors — but we are specific about what options apply to whom.
The Partnership Structure Modeler (Tool 04) shows all three options side by side with honest timelines and economic outcomes for each. For 8(a) companies, NHO/ANC/tribal ownership offers structural advantages no other buyer can match. But the right structure depends on your goals — exit, continuity, or growth.
