If you’ve been thinking about federal contracting but didn’t know where to start—this is your roadmap.
Hosted by APEX Accelerator, this in-depth, step-by-step training breaks down the SBA’s federal small business certification process in a way that actually makes sense. No guesswork. No overwhelm. Just a clear path forward.
Inside this session, you’ll learn how to successfully apply through the MySBA Certifications portal while avoiding the common missteps that slow down—or stop—applications altogether.
From HUBZone to Woman-Owned (WOSB/EDWOSB), Veteran-Owned (VOSB/SDVOSB), and the 8(a) Business Development Program, this workshop gives you a full view of what’s possible—and how to position your business to get there.
What you’ll learn:
How to choose the right certification program(s) for your business
When to apply and how timing impacts approval
How to register and maintain your business on SAM.gov
What documentation you actually need—and how to organize it
How to write strong narratives and letters of explanation
How to navigate and submit through the MySBA Certifications portal
What happens after you apply—and how to respond to SBA requests
This session is especially valuable for small business owners looking to scale through government contracts—and for those supporting them along the way.
