Certification can help. When you document your business as a woman-owned small business (WOSB), you\u2019re eligible for a wide array of advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The federal government is the largest buyer of products and services in the USA. Policymakers created the WOSB program to help level the playing field for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chministries.org\/women-entrepreneurs-rising-to-the-top\/\">women entrepreneurs<\/a>&nbsp;in industries where women are underrepresented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WOSB certification is a nationally recognized designation. It can help your business to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Access training, educational resources, and networking events<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bid for set-aside contracts and funding opportunities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Achieve increased visibility, trust, and respect for your business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compete with larger businesses and corporations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, the government sets aside 5% or more of contracting dollars for WOSBs. Some contracts are reserved for economically disadvantaged WOSBs, called EDWOSBs. This certification requires extra steps to prove that you meet certain net worth, ownership, and financial guidelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find WOSB opportunities in areas ranging from crop farming, food manufacturing, and commercial baking to book printing and power generation. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) oversees WOSB contracting. Go to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sba.gov\/document\/support-eligible-naics-women-owned-small-business-federal-contracting-program\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the SBA site<\/a>&nbsp;for a current list of eligible WOSB industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Women in business serve the Lord by serving others<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord.&#8221;<br>[<a href=\"https:\/\/biblia.com\/bible\/esv\/Col%203.23\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Colossians 3:23 (ESV)<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since Biblical times, women have excelled in enterprises of all shapes and sizes.
