How long does it take to get SBA certification?

Getting your SBA Certification depends on a few factors. Do you meet the SBA Small Business Size Standards? Do you have an ACTIVE registration in SAM? If both of these are yes, then you are on your way to becoming SBA Certified. The length of time for an SBA Certification depends on the type between Woman-Owned, Veteran-Owned, HUBZone, and more.
