SBA Women-Owned Small Business Info Session (WOSB/EDWOSB)

Event description

To level the playing field in the federal marketplace for Women Owned and Economically Disadvantaged Women Owned Small Businesses (WOSB/EDWOSB) to sell to the government, the federal government has established a 5 percent goal. In FY20, WOSB/EDWOSB businesses sold $27 billion dollars (4.85%) in federal contracts to the government. But women entrepreneurs left 15% of federal government sales opportunities on the table. 

To take advantage of the benefits of being certified as a WOSB or EDWOSB, you must get certified. This information session will help you know what to do.
