Certification as a Woman Owned Business

A business that has a majority female owned status should consider the advantages of registering with the state and federal registers if you anticipate working with governmental agencies or prime contractors. Contact the Virginia Department of Minority Business Ownership from our contact list for more information.

Resources for Women

There are many resources for aspiring or existing women business owners. The Dan River Business Development Center is currently working with the Office of Women Business Owners from the Small Business Administration to expand offerings for women businesses. They have a wealth of information and resources on their website at the Office of Women's Business Ownership.
