I would like to personally thank you and
your wonderful staff for your assistance
during my 8a application and
certification process. It’s not often
(especially during these times) you meet
a person that genuinely has your best
interest at heart... During our
conversations throughout the
certification process you gave good
sound advice. You provided real-life
examples of situations that could occur
in business, e.g., government
contracting. You explained what to
expect. You made sure that the
information that I was presenting was
accurate and correct. I could not have
done this without your help.

Charles Gastón & Associates helped me
organize, review, and present my 8(a)
application in a very professional and
prompt manner. Mr. Gastón was always
accessible via phone or email and
responded to my numerous questions with
patience and lots of additional
information.
Mr. Gastón acted as a guide and mentor
during the entire process. He is
knowledgeable, professional, and
courteous. In April, RazorX2
became 8(a) certified, and we could not
have done it without the expertise and
knowledge the consultants at Charles
Gastón & Associates provided.
If you are on the fence about contacting
Charles Gaston & Associates or utilizing
their services, DON'T BE. They will be
your best resource and the best money
spent if you are serious about obtaining
your 8(a) certification.

I would like to express
my sincere appreciation for the
outstanding work your company did in
assisting TMGE, LLC in successfully
obtaining our 8(a) certification from
the Small Business Administration.
Throughout the process, your company’s
experts knew exactly what was required
to expedite a correct submission, which
eliminated the requirement for numerous
revisions, which I understand are
common.
Additionally, you
provided added value by personally
providing me new-business start-up
advice and recommendations from the
beginning of the task to receipt of
SBA’s certification. You performed this
valuable service in a highly
professional manner by not only
assisting in our certification but also
meeting all deadlines and completing the
task within budget which is critical for
a new company.
In addition to
recommending your service to others, I
will also come to your company for any
similar assistance that I require in the
future.

Getting 8(a) certified was a critical
part of our small company’s strategy for
growth. Charles Gastón & Associates was
recommended to us by our advisor, as we
could not afford to make mistakes. Chuck
took us by our hand and walked us every
step of the way and got us certified...
I strongly recommend Chuck for any small
business that wants to become a part of
the 8(a) program.

[Several years ago],
I found Charles Gastón & Associates in a
web search. In my initial phone call,
Mr. Gastón advised me that I wouldn't
qualify for 8(a) because I was not U.S.
citizen then. I was so impressed, I
saved his contact information until I
became U.S. citizen and contacted him to assist me.
I am glad that I did call him again. My
company is 8(a) certified because I made
a great decision in engaging Charles
Gastón & Associates.

Chuck Gaston is my "go-to" guy for
matters pertaining to the U.S. Small
Business Administration, especially for
8(a) qualification. I have worked with
Chuck for more than 10 years. He is very
responsive and knowledgeable. His fee is
very fair and structured to provide very
good value.

Charles Gastón & Associates are true
professionals. They know their job and
deliver results. This past year, I had
tried really hard to get certified, but
all of my efforts kept falling short. I
had come to a point where I decided to
give up and stop trying.
That’s when I contacted Charles Gastón.
He helped me put the pieces of my case
together and present it in a manner that
worked. He is extremely courteous,
focused and dedicated to the job. He has
helped me every step of the way.
Involving him in my case was the best
thing that I have done to get this
certification. I would definitely
recommend Charles Gastón & Associates to
businesses who are trying to get their
certification. This is a “one shot”
sure-success choice to make!

We were so glad to have
Charles Gastón & Associates to help on our 8(a)
application. Mr. Gastón was very
professional and knowledgeable. He
knew the ins and outs about the 8(a)
application process. He was very
responsive and patient with me
throughout the whole process. We
received our 8(a) certification
within a month after our
submission. I would definitely
recommend any companies that would
like to pursue an 8(a)
certification. In addition, we are
in the process of hiring Mr. Gastón
for the 8(a) Mentor/Protégé
application.
Your service is wonderful!
Without Charles Gastón & Associates
to help me with my 8(a)
certification, I would have never
gotten my business off the ground.
Thanks to their help, my small
business has grown exponentially and
also garnered several awards for
outstanding business achievement.
Charles Gastón & Associates
helped us acquire 8(a) and SDB
status very quickly and hassle-free.
The success of my business thus far
would have never been possible
without Charles Gastón & Associates.
Again, thank you very much for your
help!

This
testimony alone cannot express fully
how grateful I am to Mr. Charles
Gaston. My initial application was
denied due to technical errors but
when I contacted Mr. Gaston, he was
able to quickly figure out the
problem. Do not wait until you are
turned down before you seek help
because doing it right the first
time is the key.
Now I am
a beneficiary of his expertise... It
makes sense to use someone who
understands the program.

I highly
recommend Charles Gastón and
Associates as they are true
professionals. Following Mr.
Gastón's instructions, I gathered
all the information required by SBA.
Mr. Gastón anticipated the SBA’s
questions, which proved to be
invaluable. Charles Gastón
& Associates compiled my information
into a great package to send to SBA,
and about 30 days later we were 8(a)
certified. I could not be happier
with their service.

Chuck Gastón assisted us in the
preparation of our Mentor/Protégé
Agreement as required by the SBA. He
followed all the steps of the
process, answered all the questions
from the SBA and our Mentor, and
finally we got the approval. He goes
over every detail because he
owns a large experience, and also he
delivered more than he promised. We
received immediate responses to our
many questions and calls.
I recommend his services.

I wanted to drop you a note letting
you know how much I appreciated the
small business and 8(a) consulting
services that you provided to our
company, Apprio. We were very
impressed with the seamless process
and most of all, the results:
receiving our 8(a) eligibility only
a few months after submission! As
you know, we had started the
eligibility determination process
once before on our own and had
failed to complete it.
I would strongly recommend your
services to any business trying to
navigate the maze of the eligibility
process. It is obvious that your
knowledge of the program and the
organization was the key to speeding
us through the process.

My corporation began
the tedious process of applying for
certification in the 8(a) Business
Development Program and as a Small
Disadvantaged Business in the state
of Maryland. We initially attempted
to satisfy the federal government’s
requirements on our own; however, it
soon became clear that we needed
assistance. We turned to Mr. Charles
Gastón, whose credentials and
successful track record were
extremely impressive. In less than
six months, we received both
certifications. We simply could not
have accomplished this overwhelming
task without Mr. Gastón’s attention
to detail, professionalism, and
expertise.
Martin Jack

I am 8(a) certified today because I
made the wise decision to let a
professional like yourself complete
my application instead of doing it
myself. I did not realize the
complexity of the process until the
application was completed and I
received my certification. I am so
glad I engaged you because you
allowed me to concentrate on my
business.
Believe me, I will recommend you to
anyone interested in getting into
the 8(a) Program.
