How to Self-Certify as a Woman Owned Small Business in Montgomery County MD

This procedure was so surprisingly easy I almost didn't believe it was possible to do. If you have your ducks in a row and about an hour to enter documentation, then you can also self-certify! 

If you can say yes to the following, then you should proceed:

*United States Citizen

*Company held directly by a woman/women, and that woman is involved in business FULL TIME during open hours

*NOT an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan)

*Meet Small Business size standard as determined by NAICS codes

Go to Montgomery County Local Small Business and you will need the following information:

*SSN or EIN for tax purposes

*Duns & Bradstreet Number

*Business website & Email

Once you enter this information on the site, Montgomery County will accept your self certification. This will be reviewed! Please do not embellish. The worst thing you can do when dealing with government or big business is to lie or embellish your talents. This can only have one result, you looking really bad. Never wing it, never bid on any contracts you are unprepared for. Besides that GO FORTH AND MAKE THAT MONEY!!
