The first step in any Small Business Certification process would be to have an active and compliant registration in SAM. That is essential as it is the money portal for the government, tracking where it goes, to who, and for what. You will also need to make sure that you qualify as a small business, meeting the SBA (Small Business Administration) size standards based on your NAICS code, average annual revenue, and number of full-time employees.
To begin the process, have a professional like a Certified Registration Specialist guide you through the registration and certification. Completing for the first time can be tedious, time-consuming, and frustrating. A CRS will be directly assigned to your business as the direct point of contact through the whole process.
