How do I get certified as a women-owned business?
Q: How do I get certified as a women-owned business?
A: There is no certification process at the Federal level (although there is legislation in process to do so). You simply "self-certify" yourself on the various government forms. If, after a contract award, another vendor decides to protest the award, you may be required to produce "proof" of your status. Some States, however, do have a certification process for State procurements. This process is usually administered through the State's Economic Development Council. Contact your local SBA office for additional information.
