What are the SBA certifications?

Posted on by Noah King

SBA Certifications are official recognitions provided by the Small Business Administration. There are four main SBA Set-Aside Certifications which include:

    • Woman-Owned Small Business Certification (WOSB/EDWOSB)
      • 5% of all Federal funds annually are allocated to WOSB Certified businesses
    • Veteran-Owned Small Business Certification (VOSB/SDVOSB)
      • Bid on exclusive contracts set aside for VOSBs.
      • 3% of federal contracts designated for SDVOSB certified contractors.
    • HUBZone Certification
      • Businesses in historically underutilized business zones are given exclusive access to certain government contracts.
      • HUBZone certified businesses benefit from a 10% price evaluation preference in open contract competitions.
    • 8(a) Certification
      • 5% of all federal monetary spending is mandated to be allocated to Minority Owned Small Business certificate holders.
      • As an 8(a) certified business, you are visible to contracting officers as a small business and Minority certified, so the pool for set-aside contracts is smaller, which maximizes your ability to receive no bid contract under $25,000.

What’s the difference between Grants and Loans?

Posted on by Naima Densemo

When applying for a SAM its important to know the difference between receiving a gran and a loan. Loans are a set amount of money agreed to be paid back in a certain amount of time to the loaner. Loans can come from a bank, the federal government, or other financial institutions. Grants, however, do NOT need to be paid back as they are awarded to a specific individual or business that meets the requirements.

When does SBA.gov profile deactivate?

Posted on by Noah King
If you received any type of email regarding your SAM Registration, DSBS, SBA Profile, SAM Account or anything similar; follow these suggested steps:
  • Read the fine print at the bottom of the email before anything else
  • Be cautious clicking on links or downloading any attachments
  • Check the email address of the sender. Any email from the Federal Government ends with a “.gov” or “.mil“, if not, then it is most likely a creative marketing email from a private organization offering services
  • Be highly cautious taking any immediate actions from incoming calls or emails regarding any of these topics
  • If you are unsure, feel free to reach out to USBRI for advice or assistance
A number of these particular emails seem to speak of a for-profit entity’s SBA Profile, DSBS Profile or some other possible creative measure in order to get a response from the email receiver. Either way, when a SAM Registration is created and goes active, the basic profile of that entity is pulled over from the active SAM Registration to establish these basic profiles within the SBA’s system (Small Business Administration). These SBA profiles NEVER DEACTIVATE. They can go ‘Inactive’ after an entity’s SAM Registration has been expired for 180 days. Then the system may purge dead records after 5 years.
 
These SBA Profiles only apply to For-Profit Entities that appear to have qualified for the Federal Small Business Certification per current Federal Regulations. If you are concerned about your Small Business Certification or Profiles, feel free to reach out and we can
