Proposed Rule to Align the 8(a) BD and EDWOSB Program Requirements

Federal SmallBiz Savvy – The SBA has proposed a rule concerning the certification processes for women-owned small businesses (WOSBs) and economically disadvantaged women owned small businesses (EDWOSBs). This proposed rule  looks to make the economic disadvantage requirements for the 8(a) Business Development (BD) program consistent to the economic disadvantage requirements for women-owned firms seeking EDWOSB status.
