SBS means the SBA Small Business Search. SBA means the U.S. Small Business Administration. Federal buyers use this directory to find businesses.

ℹ️ Before you start: the step waits for Federal Registration. You need a live registration on SAM.gov first.

Steps

  1. In the left menu, click Roadmap.
  2. Open the Visibility & Credibility tab. Click SBS Registration.
  3. Click Verify your SBA profile.
  4. Find your profile in the SBA search. Copy the link. It starts with https://search.certifications.sba.gov/profile/.
  5. In SBA profile URL, paste the link.
  6. Click Verify.

What you see next

  • The card says Review and confirm. It shows the facts from your profile and your certifications as badges. It also shows a link, Open SBA profile.
  • If the facts are right, click Yes, this is correct — confirm. The card then says Verify your SBA profile — verified.
  • If the link is wrong or the profile is not found, the card says it could not verify and gives the reason. Check the link, then click Try again.
  • If the SBA directory is down, the card says so. Nothing is wrong with your details. Click Try again later.

What the step covers

The checklist has three lines: Create SBA Profile (SBS), Optimize your SBA profile and Verify (Only on Positioning Call). The step says: "This is how federal buyers find businesses like yours."
