Win contracts with business certification
To help provide a level playing field for women business owners, the government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses that participate in the Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contracting program. Woman-Owned Small Business certification is the topic of our next New Growth Women’s Business Center webinar at noon on Thursday, August 18.
