schirallicpa Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 Is there a certification process to be a woman owned business? State level or fed level? I have client hoping to gain govt contract by becoming "certified" but I don't know anything about it. And like everyone else on this forum - I HAVE NO TIME FOR THIS RIGHT NOW............................really? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklcpa Posted April 2, 2016 Report Share Posted April 2, 2016 I don't know much about it, I think it is a program through the SBA for woman-owed businesses in certain industries. I found only a couple of helpful pages at the SBA site that might lead you in the right direction: https://www.sba.gov/contracting/government-contracting-programs/women-owned-small-businesses/what-you-need-know-if-you-are-women-owned-small-business https://www.sba.gov/contracting/government-contracting-programs/women-owned-small-businesses Also, this organization has information but requires the user to set up a user name and password. It's the National Association of Women Business Owners. Be careful if passing along this organization's name to your client because my googling brought up a malicious site that sounded familiar in name. This link below is safe and goes to the real site that also has information on it. Again, I didn't see the info because I didn't set up user access: https://www.nawbo.org/resources/business/government-contracting and the organization's home page: https://www.nawbo.org/ Some of the things we are asked.... right?

mcb39 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I had a client this year who began a small business of Zumba classes. She wanted to know where her Women in Business credit was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
