Becoming certified as a WOSB or EDWOSB is essential in leveling the playing field for your business. A WOSB Certification will present more opportunities for government contracting to entities owned and operated by women.

From the 500 billion dollars that are allocated annually by the government, approximately 25 billion is obligated solely to WOSB certified firms.

Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Overview

Each year, the federal government has a goal to award a minimum of five percent of all contracting budgets to Women-Owned Small Businesses. This opens up the opportunity for thousands of contracts to be handed out to deserving small businesses.

This initiative was born to get more women in the business industry and to give them the opportunities that they have lacked in the past. With the help of a WOSB Certification, women-owned entities can thrive.

If you own a business that is run by 51 percent women, you could qualify for some of that budget. To find out if your business is eligible, fill out our form below, or contact us at any time to receive expert assistance.
