Simplify Federal Certification Journey

Simplify Federal Certification Journey

Utilizing online resources is one way to simplify your journey in getting federally certified as a small business. However, the federal government does not offer many resources when it comes to the federal certifications process. Here are a few steps to getting started…

Step 1: Getting Registered in SAM

Getting your company or sole proprietorship registered in SAM is the first thing that needs to be done. SAM is the federal governments way of tracking where money is going, to who it’s going, and for what purpose. Because you would be receiving contracts through SBA Federal Certifications, you MUST be registered in SAM.

Step 2: Getting your Federal Small Business Certification

After getting your company registered in SAM, you will be able to get your company federally certified as a Small Business with the SBA. As long as your company meets the requirements (average annual revenue, NAICS codes, and number of full-time employees).

Step 3: Federal Set-Aside Certifications

The last step would be to partake in federal set-aside programs such as WOSB, VOSB, HUBZone, and Minority-Owned.
