Today I wish to abode the NAICS codes that abatement aural the WOSB program. I will not account them actuality -since there are 83 of them and they represent hundreds of businesses – but I will accommodate you a hotlink area you can book the lists.In February of this year, the final aphorism for the Woman Endemic Small Business federal arrangement affairs went into effect. Like all SBA certifications, this affairs is advised to aggrandize the federal application opportunities for Woman endemic businesses, decidedly in essentially underrepresented industries.

Printing and Related Support Activities (NAICS cipher 3231); Offices of Real Estate Agents and Brokers (5312); Legal Casework (5411); Accounting, Tax Preparation, Bookkeeping, and Payroll casework (5412); and Advertising, Public Relations and Related Casework (5418) are all “SU” NAICS codes. I apperceive acknowledged business women in anniversary of the above categories.
