How do I prove I am a small business?

To prove you are a small business, you must be SBA Small Business Certified. Use the Small Business Calculator Tool to determine your eligibility as a Small Business.

USBRI has been offering filing assistance for Small Business Certifications for over 11 years and would be able to facilitate the entire process for you. One of the requirements when obtaining any SBA certification is having an ACTIVE registration in SAM.

Follow the steps below to see if you have a SAM or check your status:

• • At the top of this page, select “Check SAM & UEI Status” in red
  • Input your company’s legal business name, CAGE code, or UEI
  • Answer the security question and select “Check SAM Status NOW”
  • If there is a SAM Registration, the page will generate a brief summary of it including:
    • Expiration Date
    • NAICS Code
    • UEI
    • CAGE Code
    • PSC Codes
    • FSC Codes
    • POC’s
    • and more

If the tool is giving you trouble, contact the USBRI Help Desk at 1-888-646-9998 and a Certified Registration Specialist would ne able to assist you.
