About this Event: Join SBA's Portland District Office to learn more about the certification programs that are important federal government agencies as they are "setting aside" contracts for small businesses. In this webinar, you will learn more about:

• Set aside contracts and how agencies determine which certification to use

• The Woman Owned Small Business Certification

• The 8(a) Business Development Program

• HUBZone Certification

• SBA's Veteran Certification Program

• Resources available to your small businesses to apply for certification

Please note that SBA certifications differ from State Government certifications such as COBID. While State certification programs may help to qualify your small business for state and local certifications, SBA's certifications apply directly to the federal government (which is the world's largest buyer of goods and services).

There is no cost to attend for this webinar, but registration is required.
