- Excerpt from Why size matters:
- Small business status is the #1 eligibility requirement for all of the set-aside programs
- Therefore, if you participate in set-aside programs, your small business status is one of your most important assets
- Being small also exempts you from certain requirements, such as reporting executive compensation, contractor code of ethics, and cost accounting standards
- SBA’s new “Presumed Loss Rule” increases importance of protecting and verifying your small business status
- Creates a presumption of loss to the Government from a size or status misrepresentation equal to the total amount expended on a contract obtained by misrepresentation
