Acquisition Hour: Introduction to Certifications Available to Woman Owned Businesses

Woman-owned businesses can receive advantage when selling to various Public entities. In most cases, a certification process must be completed to qualify. It is important for businesses to understand the certification requirements and the potential benefits to their business prior to investing their time and resources in the certification process.

• State Government agencies (including WisDOT and State of Wisconsin)
• Local Government agencies (including Milwaukee City and County, Dane County, Madison (City), and MMSD).

UPDATE: The U.S. SBA has ended self-certification of Woman Owned Small Businesses and, as of October 15, 2020, self-certification is no longer an option.
