Frequently asked questions
Questions people actually ask
What does the free eligibility report tell me?
Every programme you qualify for at federal, state and local level, the estimated annual set-aside spend in your industry codes, and the specific documentation each application will require.
How long is the questionnaire?
Twenty questions about ownership, control, revenue, location and industry codes.
Do I have to collect the documents myself?
No. Document collection is managed for you, and we handle the responses to agency queries.
What does the certification package cost?
3,900 dollars for a full certification package, filed, with a re-file guarantee if the application is denied on a curable issue.
What happens after certification?
Capture support covers system registrations, a capability statement written to the codes that matter, targeted introductions to small business liaison officers at agencies buying what you sell, and a subcontracting pathway into existing prime contracts.
What does capture support cost?
1,900 dollars a month for six months, including registrations, the capability statement and agency introductions.
Is there an alternative to the retainer?
Yes. Qualified firms can choose a success fee in place of the retainer.
Why should I trust the certification readiness check?
The score comes from your own answers, worked out in your browser. It does not tell you whether you qualify for any programme. The free Certification Eligibility Report does that from twenty questions, with the documents each application will require.
Is your firm ready to apply for set-aside certification?
