Free Seminar on May 18 on Federal Contracting Certification Programs — Woman-Owned Small Business Set Aside Program and 8(a) Business Development
The Woman-Owned Small Business Set-Aside Program is a new initiative created by the SBA to provide greater contracting opportunities for woman-owned small businesses by allowing certain contracts to be competed only among businesses registered as WOSB’s.
The 8(a) Business Development Program helps small, disadvantaged businesses compete in the marketplace. The Program offers contractual assistance, financial assistance and management and technical assistance to firms that are owned and controlled at least 51% by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.
