Small business owners might be overlooking "set-aside" contracts, a less well-known source of income. Government agencies and major companies that do business with the government are compelled by legislation or corporate policies to spend around 20% of their budget with small disadvantaged companies.
Understanding how a federal business certification can make you more competitive when applying for government contracts and boost your company's revenue is crucial for business owners. We advise clients to fully utilize any certification for which they are qualified.
We offer application assistance to the following federal certifications:
Minority-Owned Small Business
If your business is certified as a minority-owned, you will be listed in a directory of certified minority-owned businesses, which is used by government agencies and corporations to identify potential suppliers.
Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB)
If your business is 51% owned and run by a US citizen woman, you can apply for this and compete for federal contracts. This will bring up new revenue sources for you and your business.
Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB)
Getting certified as an EDWOSB is a must if you want to give your business a fair chance. With this certification, businesses owned and run by women will have more chances to get contracts from the government.
HUBZone Program
This program helps disadvantaged areas by enabling firms like yours to bid for government contracts worth millions. If your business is in a HUBZone, you may qualify for this program and get access to a range of government contract vehicles.
Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB)/Service Disabled Veteran Owned Business (SDVOSB)
The VOSB and SDVOSB certifications were established to help US veterans who own businesses. They give businesses access to government spending worth millions of dollars.

Want to get certified? We can help you.
When it comes to competing for and winning state and federal contracts, small businesses can greatly benefit from these certifications. A small business that qualifies for one or more of these program certifications can take advantage of "set aside" contracting opportunities.
