Frequently Asked Questions

What are the WOSB and EDWOSB certifications?
WOSB (Women-Owned Small Business) certification is a designation provided by the SBA, granting women-owned businesses access to federal contracts and other benefits. EDWOSB (Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business) certification is a subset of the WOSB program for women-owned businesses that meet specific economic criteria, providing additional access to set-aside contracts in industries where women are underrepresented.
What are the eligibility requirements to register as a woman owned small business?
To qualify for WOSB certification, a business must be classified as a small business under SBA size standards, be at least 51% owned and controlled by women who are U.S. citizens, and have women managing day-to-day operations and long-term decisions. For EDWOSB certification, the business must also meet specific economic criteria, including a personal net worth of less than $850,000, an average adjusted gross income of $400,000 or less over three years, and total personal assets of $6.5 million or less.
What are the benefits of getting certified?
Certification grants access to set-aside government contracts, increases business credibility, and provides networking opportunities, subcontracting priority, and long-term financial growth potential.
How long does the certification process take?
Timelines vary, but the process generally takes a few months from application submission. Working with iQuasar ensures accuracy and minimizes delays caused by missing documents or errors.
