Legal Help for Women, Minority and Disadvantaged Owned Businesses

In today’s economic environment, people are forming corporations and limited liability companies (“LLC’s”) to take advantage of the state and federal government contracts set aside opportunities that available through the Small Business Administration and similar state programs. The SBA, and the Commonwealth of Virginia, has programs that will help:

small businesses;

special audiences including

• women-owned businesses
• service disabled veterans owned businesses
• Native Americans owned businesses and
• socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.

Forming an Entity That Will Qualify You For Set Aside Programs.

The SBA and State Government set aside programs all have specific requirements for how businesses are structured and managed. If you fail to set up the business entity correctly, you will be disqualified from the SBA and state government set aside programs. However, if your entity is structured and operated correctly, you will be able to secure lucrative government contracts and government-related subcontracts.
