SMALL BUSINESS (WOSB) STATUS

If you are a woman business owner that “owns and controls” at least 51% of your small business, you could be sitting on a gold mine that you may have heard about but have no idea how to find.

Learn the easy way to grow your business by certifying your WOSB status and getting your name on vendor lists.

Sometimes that really is all it takes!  Trying to find your way without a roadmap to navigate the labyrinth of opportunities is overwhelmingly but true "set-asides" are out there just waiting for you.

Invest a few hours of your time and walk away with your personal WOSB-GPS navigation tools. You will learn about the new Federal Government WOSB set-aside program, the 8a program, the Florida procurement program, the Palm Beach County program, the local cities programs, and even the special set-aside programs that many major corporations have in place. All of these buyers have one thing in common – they are having trouble finding you.  Every year, millions of dollars in contracts targeted for woman owned small businesses wind up going to the same old major corporate suppliers simply because the buyers don’t know you exist.

Help them out. Get on their lists and use your woman owned business status to grow your business.
