Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB)

A Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) is a small business that is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by women. This designation aims to promote and support female entrepreneurs by providing access to federal contracting opportunities and resources. WOSBs must meet specific criteria outlined by government agencies to qualify, ensuring they are genuinely woman-led and financially independent. The certification helps level the playing field in government contracting, fostering economic growth and diversity for women entrepreneurs in the marketplace.
