Post-Certification Support Service

1 You Receive Your USWCC Certification

You complete the certification process through the U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce and receive your approved certification.

2 You Choose CertificationPlus+ Support Service

You decide to add CertificationPlus+ support to ensure proper filing with the SBA.

3 Complete the Purchase Agreement and Provide Owner Details

You complete the Preliminary Acknowledgement for CertificationPlus+ and provide the following information for every business owner that collectively equals 100% ownership:

• First and last name
• U.S. citizenship status
• Gender
• A unique email address for each owner

You then submit payment to activate the service.

4 We Accept and Initiate Your Application

Once we receive your Setup & Agreement, owner information sheet, and payment, we will review your eligibility, accept your enrollment, and begin preparing your application for submission to the SBA.

5 You Assign Our Team Member as Your Delegate

You must log in to the MySBA Certification portal and assign a member of our CertificationPlus+ team as your firm's Delegate.

This designation allows our team member to complete application details on your behalf.

MySBA Certification Portal: https://certifications.sba.gov/

Note: Login.gov credentials are required. Existing accounts may be reused.

6 Qualifying Owners Provide Required Documentation

If no single woman owner individually holds at least 51% ownership, then all women who collectively meet the 51% requirement must participate in the SBA review process.

The SBA system will automatically send an email invitation to each qualifying owner. You may wish to notify co-owners in advance so they expect this request.

7 Our Team Completes the SBA Application

Once you have assigned the delegate and owners have provided their required documentation, our team will complete all remaining portions of the SBA application process on your behalf.

8 You and Qualifying Owners Review and Electronically Sign

Once our team has completed the application, each qualifying woman owner must:

• Log in to the MySBA Certification portal at https://certifications.sba.gov/
• Review the pre-filled application
• Electronically sign and certify accuracy

The SBA system will send an email invitation to each owner when the application is ready for final signature.
