Women-owned small business certification

Also called: WOSB, WOSB certification, Women-Owned Small Business program, EDWOSB, women owned business certification, woman-owned small business

A free US Small Business Administration certification that lets small businesses at least 51% owned and controlled by women who are US citizens compete for federal contracts set aside for them. It applies only to federal contracts, not private sales, and a stricter version (EDWOSB) covers economically disadvantaged owners.

For example: A woman founder whose company sells training to federal agencies gets WOSB certification so she can bid on set-aside contracts.
