SBA Registration Is Only the Beginning
Make sure government buyers can see what your business actually does.
Why Your SBA Profile Matters
Federal agencies and prime contractors use SBA's Small Business Search to identify small businesses that may be able to provide the products and services they need. Your SAM registration establishes your business in the federal contracting system — your SBA profile is where you tell buyers what you actually do.
- Keywords describing your products and services
- Past performance
- Bonding information
- Government and non-government certifications
- Capability statement information
- Other relevant business details
A profile that hasn't been reviewed in years may no longer accurately represent your company. New services, completed projects, new certifications, increased bonding capacity, expanded markets — your SBA profile should keep up with your business. Tip: use your annual SAM renewal as your reminder to review it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the SBA Small Business Search?
The SBA Small Business Search, formerly known as the Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS), is a database used by federal agencies and prime contractors to identify small businesses that may be able to meet their contracting needs.
Is the SBA profile created automatically?
Your SBA profile is associated with information from your SAM.gov registration. However, there is additional information you can provide and maintain in the SBA Small Business Search profile that doesn't populate automatically.
Do I need to update my SBA profile every year?
We recommend reviewing it at least annually, particularly when you renew your SAM registration. An annual review gives you an opportunity to make sure your capabilities, keywords, past performance, bonding information, and other business information are current.
Do you perform the SAM registration itself?
Yes. When bundled with our SBA profile update service for a first-time SAM registration, the combined price is $749.
What if I already have a SAM registration?
No problem — you can purchase our SBA Small Business Search Profile Update on its own for $299.
What if my SAM registration is due for renewal?
Our Annual SAM Renewal + SBA Profile Update is $499/year — one service, one price, covering both.
What information do I need to provide?
We'll provide you with the information we need to complete the update. This may include your company's capabilities, services, keywords, past performance, bonding, certifications, and other relevant business information.
