SSI is certified by the Small Business Administration as a Woman-owned Small Business.
The federal government’s goal is to award at least five percent of all federal contracting dollars to women-owned small businesses each year. To help provide a level playing field for women business owners, the government limits competition for certain contracts to businesses that participate in the women’s contracting program. These contracts are for industries where women-owned small businesses are underrepresented. By establishing its certification as a WOSB, SSI makes it easier for companies that use our services to qualify for these contracting dollars.
SSI is certified by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council.
This certification ensures our clients that the business is majority owned, controlled, operated and managed by a woman. The WBENC believes diversity promotes innovation, opens doors, and creates partnerships that fuel the economy. That’s why they provide “the most relied upon certification standard for women-owned businesses and the tools to help them succeed.”
