Virginia Small Business Development Center is excited to share that the new SBA certification portal, MySBA Certifications, is now open.
The U.S. Small Business Administration is now accepting applications for VetCert, HUBZone, Women-Owned and Economically-Disadvantaged Women-Owned, and 8(a) small business certifications.
If you have an account in the MySBA loan portal or VetCert, you can log in with that account email and password.
If you have an existing account for HUBZone, WOSB or EDWOSB, or the 8(a) program, you must create a new account to apply.
To report a change to your business for a current certification, use the VetCert, HUBZone, WOSB or EDWOSB, or 8(a) program websites.
Entity-owned firms cannot apply for certification yet, but that application will be coming soon.
