Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB)
A federal certification for small businesses that are at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more women.
In context
How Women-Owned Small Business works in supplier diversity
WOSB certification is an SBA program that provides access to federal set-aside contracts in industries where women-owned businesses are underrepresented. Unlike WBE (issued by WBENC), WOSB is specifically for federal contracting and must be certified through the SBA or an approved third-party certifier.
