Get certified as a Women-Owned Small Business. $30B+ in federal contracts annually.
WOSB (Women-Owned Small Business) and EDWOSB (Economically Disadvantaged WOSB) certifications let women-owned firms compete for federal set-aside contracts. The federal target is 5% of contract dollars to WOSB. As of 2020, SBA requires WOSB firms to be formally certified through certify.SBA.gov (self-certification was eliminated). We handle the application: ownership documentation, control verification, EDWOSB economic disadvantage analysis if applicable.
How we handle WOSB Certification, end-to-end.
WOSB (Women-Owned Small Business) and EDWOSB (Economically Disadvantaged WOSB) certifications let women-owned firms compete for federal set-aside contracts.
Ownership verification
We verify 51%+ unconditional and direct ownership by US women citizens. Documentation includes formation documents, operating agreement or bylaws, and member or shareholder records.
Control verification
Women owners must control management and daily operations. We document signing authority, day-to-day decisions, and absence of male-controlled veto rights. The control test is often where applications fail.
Small business size confirmation
Must qualify as small under the SBA size standard for your primary NAICS code. We confirm based on 3-year average revenue (services) or employee count (manufacturing).
EDWOSB economic disadvantage (if applying)
Optional EDWOSB tier requires personal net worth under $850K, adjusted gross income under $400K (3-year average), and total assets under $6.5M. We prepare the documentation if EDWOSB is appropriate.
