FAQ
Why pursue EDWOSB over WOSB-only?
EDWOSB-set-aside contracts can be sole-sourced (up to $4.5M services / $7M manufacturing). WOSB-only set-asides generally cannot.
How is economic disadvantage proven?
Personal financial statement (SBA Form 413), three years of personal tax returns, and supporting documents demonstrating you meet the net worth, income, and asset thresholds.
