This Has Helped Build My Confidence So Much. I’m So Small (Cleaning Business) Right Now. But watching Your Videos It Won’t Be For Long!🤷🏽♀️ Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! This Have Been So So So Helpful In Ways I Can’t Explain. I’ve Watched Many Many Of These Same Type Of Videos, And This One Was By Far The Best Self Explanatory One’s Out Here. The Step By Step Makes It Very Clear And Just That Much Better To Understand. I Will Definitely Be Watching Your Videos From Today Forward. Again Thank You
This video is a gem! This was a one stop shop for the information I was looking for to get started. I will come back with updates after we are qualified to bid on contracts!
Thank you!!! The steps by steps in your video are mind-blowing, I wish I would see it before I did my application. I left a lot of important information out and the software did not let me upgraded as you mention in the video. You should make a video on how we can add or upgrade information after the application is processed.
When I got to the end of my SAM registration, before I submitted my registration, for some reason I didn't see the "Small Business Certification" step, where do I go to fix it?
Great Video Derek!🔥 I was stumped at registering my business 💔 for/with/on SAM but watched your video and it was very detailed.🏆 I can’t even lie. Thanks 🙏🏿earned my subscribe with the value in there. Looking forward to learning more and I’ll be getting your books 📚 as well.
Question! Bear with me. So, I'm starting my SAM registration process but I am someone who is applying to a job that requires this registration. I get that in general, I'd be a contractor under the federal government but the language used confuses me so much. Being referred to as a business (when I don't have a business) and then asking me to input company information, I'm confused about if I'm supposed to put information about the company that I'm applying to i.e. physical address, mailing address, fiscal year info. or if I'm supposed to put my home physical address, etc. pls help lol
Hey Derek, thank you for what you’re doing at this Chanel. I have my small trucking company of 3 units. Do you think I still can do some government contracts?
Your business headquarters address should reflect the primary location that you intend to conduct business as well as reflect the state you are registered in ( you have to have a business registered in your State and the IRS prior to registering it to become eligible to receive government contract awards). You can have multiple business locations/offices.

I registered my business beta.Sam before I watched your video and I did not include all my information like my DUNN number and banking info how do I correct this or should I deactivate that account and start over:?
The banking info you can go back and add. I thought a DUNS was a requirement to even register, so I'm not sure how that went through. I saw your note in the group about calling customer service. I think that is the best bet for now. They should be able to get you updated.
Hello Sir Thank you for your informative video Need your guidance and assistance does the entity address in DUNS, CAGE and SAM need to be the same in order to successfully register a non US entity Currently I have completed the DUNS and CAGE process and I am about to start the SAM process in a day or two. However our company has been allocated a DUNS number but it is not reflecting online and does not show up the company. There is a requirement for a notarized letter by fsd.gov when registering my company in SAM Is it a mandatory requirement and does the address on the letter has to correspond with the address in DUNS, CAGE and SAM to avoid going back and forth I want to register a company which is based in Qatar Also would like to know before I start with SAM, can I update the address of my entity in DUNS and CAGE as I am changing the office location Please advise...Thank you
what a great video thank you so much! I I have a quick question I am almost done with my SAM. gov application and I checked off that I want to be WOSB & EDWO do I need to register for these certificates before I submit my SAM application? or is this something I can do after I submit my Sam application. Thank you in advance
Hey, i’m a 16 years old guy from The Netherlands. I want to do gov contracting for the USA as soon as i turn 18 (bc i don’t think i can do that legally now). Do i have to register my business in the United States (SBA??) if my physical location is in The Netherlands?
Can a Canadian company do business with the american government and is it realistic to secure contracts as a Canadian company if its possible Thanks -Evan
Hi, Evan. Good question. I'll admit, business outside the US is not my area of expertise. I know that it is possible to conduct business as a foreign entity with the US. You have to apply for an NCAGE code (NATO ). I have a buddy who works on Canadian government contracts, so I would consider that first if you haven't already. But here is a link for the NCAGE if you are still interested: eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/Docs/US%20Instructions%20for%20NSPA%20NCAGE.pdf
Hi Derek, great video! How can I update my company's performance history in the SBA Profile? I can't see to find a way to do it through SBA or SAM? Thanks in advance!
Hi David. I get that question a lot. Go back into your entity registration in your SAM account. You have to click through all of the company assertions, reps and certs...everything you went through when you first registered in SAM. After you click through everything, the page from the last will have an "Update SBA Profile" box. If you click that, it will take you to a different website. This is the only way to access your DSBS profile..you have to back into it from the last registration page in SAM. Hope this helps!
can i get some help i'm stuck on a page via sam.gov " Core Data Entity Information Mandatory Errors Entity with same DUNS already available in SAM system. Please provide other DUNS number or update the existing DUNS registration. ? i basically started then stopped came back the next day to continue and it wont let me move forward when i enter my duns number its telling it already exist can i get help please

Hi Lauren. I have never heard of this. Do you have any more context surrounding it? When it comes to setting up the two numbers are DUNS Numbers and CAGE codes
@@GovKidMethod Thanks for the quick response! I couldn't find anything on it either, but that doesn't mean much from me. I've asked my client for more details - he was told he needed it but wasn't told much more. If it is something related, I'll let you know! Thanks again.
Thank you for helping us with this but i had a problem at the DUNS number. When i went to register my business it didn’t automatically give me a number. It listed other businesses and gave me an option to click on link to register my business needing things i don’t have like a TIN, DBA/assumed name certificate filing, lease agreement, utility bill. I thought that was weird. My business is mobile so i don’t have a lease or utility bill nor their other request.
Your business must already be registered with your State and the IRS (FEIN/TIN) prior to applying for a DUNS number. In other words, you must already have a business to register before trying to register for Government Contracts, otherwise you're trying to register a non-entity.
hey man, do i have to get a duns number during business hours? i got to the part where i submit my request for a number and i was brought to page saying the office is closed due to MLK day...
