The potential presented by small company certifications are sometimes disregarded by small business entrepreneurs. These credentials can help companies compete on government contracts and cooperate with the Federal Government, which is the biggest consumer of goods and services worldwide.

Applying for certification on your own is possible, but it can take a lot of time. As an alternative, you may save time and concentrate on managing your business by working with a government certification consulting service. SBC Consultants, Inc. can assist you in obtaining your government certification in this situation.

Certification Services

Federal Certification Services

SBA’s 8(a) Business Development Program: The most lucrative and most difficult to qualify for is the SBA 8(a) program. In the United States, about 7,000 businesses are now authorized under the 8(a) program. Additionally, 8(a) recognized companies must receive 23 percent of all government contracts.

SBA’s Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB): Since the Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) distinction is a designation rather than a formal certificate; it is one of the simplest certifications to obtain. Your company may be eligible to bid on the 5% set-aside designated for WOSBs if it has earned the WOSB certification.

Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE): Only women-owned enterprises are eligible for the WBE accreditation. It is validated by one of five SBA-approved agencies and is comparable to the WOSB certification. Compared to the WOSB, the WBE certification procedure is more involved and requires submitting a complete application with accompanying documentation.

Minority Business Enterprise (MBE): The National Minority Supplier Development Council, one of the top groups in the nation assisting business members, grants the MBE national accreditation.

State Certification Services

Metro’s Disadvantage Business Enterprise: As the highest accreditation in the state, the DBE certification guarantees that qualified companies will get 25% of set-aside contracts. Although many people primarily think about Metro's bus and subway networks, they also give contracts to businesses in a variety of industries.

Department of General Services Small Business and Disabled Veterans Certification (SB)/ (DVBE): The State of California's business manager is the Department of General Services. They provide two certificates that may be earned online: DVBE (Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise) and SB (Small Business).
