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.

Chuck,
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.
As always, thanks.

I worked
with Charles Gastón and I found him
to be a very knowledgeable, honest
and dedicated individual. He knows
his business and is dedicated to his
work. He is as honest as the day is
long, and has a wonderful command of
the English language. He helped me
and my little disadvantaged company
attain SDB status, and I am very
grateful for his work.
Unlike other individuals, Chuck is
very fair in his pricing and gets
the job done with excellence. He is
always on time and his work is
extraordinary.
I
definitely will call on him should I
need further assistance in the
future. He is one in a million and I
cannot think of anyone who could do
the work better that Chuck at
Charles Gastón & Associates. I
highly recommend Chuck -- he is
extraordinary, not only as a worker
but also as a human being. He is
tops!!!

I have known Chuck Gastón since 1983, first as colleagues at SBA and later as
consultants in the support of
minority-owned firms. From a
personal and professional
perspective, Chuck has always
presented himself in a forthright
manner and has always been honest
and direct with clients. His many
years at SBA have provided him with
a strong base of information as it
relates to the 8(a), SDB, Hub Zone
and small business programs. When he
does not have an immediate answer to
programmatic issues raised
by clients, he always has the
relationships and the resources to
develop those answers.

Dear Chuck,
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

Chuck,
I would like to take this
opportunity to thank you for the
expertise, advice and encouragement
Charles Gastón & Associates, Inc.
provided to us during the complex
8(a) certification process. We
sincerely appreciated your
professionalism, prompt responses,
as well as your knowledgeable
insight throughout this
time-consuming process. Your
contribution played a major part in
our ability to attain our 8(a)
certification, and we could not have
achieved it without your services!
Thank you once again for your
guidance, and I wish you continued
success with assisting other small
businesses to achieve 8(a)
certification.
Angie D. Hubbard
Vice President, Applied Engineering
Solutions, Inc.
In mid-2006, 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.
