I would offer the following regarding the section about Small Business designations. The only socio-economic designations that require SBA Certification are the 8(a) Program, SDB Concern and HUBZone program. All other designations (Small, Woman-owned Small Business, Veteran and Service-Disabled Veteran owned, Native American, etc) are all self-certifying. Some of the information implies that in order to be other than WOSB VOSB or SDVOSB you must be registered as an 8(a), which is not accurate. The key to getting companies off to a good start is ensuring they have good information to begin with.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Guy Timberlake<br />www.smallbusinessweblog.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
