Great video !!! However, I know the government has moved away from the DUNS system but you still need to be registered with DUN and Bradstreet and have a DUN's number to get past the entity validation process. They use DUNS data to register your entity and verify you have a legit business along with a business address. They also are going to start using FINCEN CTA data to make sure the owners are who they say they are. Once you list your home address the government is going to want to see a lease if it's NOT physical office space. This also could take weeks to get done as they are very very SLOW.
Thank you @FedAccess, you are a life saver I've been wanting to register my company for over 10 years and I just suffered from information overload. I just watched your video and did it.
Great video -I added a DBA at the time of registration; however they did not add it. Do I have to go through the entire process again to add my DBA or how can I add it. I already have the UEI number & cage code number. Thank you in advance.
@@FedAccess started my LLC as a mobile notary so I didn’t won’t my home address listed as my business address. My corporate address is a virtual office my question is since the IRS has my corporate address listed as the business address should I use that address on Sam.gov. My business entity does show up on Sam.gov with my corporate address listed do I change the address to reflect my home address since everyone says not to use a virtual address?
Thank you for the info... quick question: What are you supposed to do if the sam.gov gives you a UEI but no cage code, and the site will not allow you to continue completing the registration process?@FedAccess
Hello, i have an active registration on sams and want to add DBA, do i start a new registration or update existing one? Thank you for all your time and effort in providing us information.
At the 6:03 mark in the video: if my business is listed in the legal entities list and all information is correct, what is the next step after they issue the UEI (it was given shortly after I completed the "I recognize my entity in the list). I also received an email with the UEI. Also, when and how do I go back to complete CORE DATA, POINTS OF CONTACT, ASSERTIONS & REPRESENTATIONS & CERTIFICATIONS?
Try this: go to your Entity Workspace where you see your entity listed. Over on the right is a three-dot Action menu. Click on the three dots to open the menu, and then click on Update.
If you're looking for information on how to accept credit cards, there are lots of sources for that. For example, you could start by talking to your bank.
Thank you for this video! My question is what if your reasoning is doublefold, example: apply for federal grants (for small businesses) and bid on contracts? How would I proceed with registration?
If SAM knows your business and you already have a UEI number, then you are able to skip the step of uploading documents to get a UEI number assigned. Just make sure you complete the SAM registration process, so that your registration is listed as "Active".
Hey , Had a question in regards to the registration. The address on my incorporation certificate is of the company that incorporated my corporation. Hence that is the address the system of SAM.gov is picking up. Where as my IRS document has my home office address. So when my UEI is issued it is on the address of the incorporation certificate. Hope that is not an issue?
It won't allow you to submit your registration until you've gone through every page. I recommend walking through each page in order, be sure to hit save and continue on the bottom of each page, and at the end, you'll be able to Submit your registration.
hi ma'am thank you for this video, while filling out the registration I selected the option of EIN than TIN Because that's what I have from Irs. But Sam is trying to validate my irs information using TIN and that came back as fail. I wanna know if I wasn't supposed to use EIN number?
Has anyone run into this when applying for grants. Required to Fill out SF-LLL form, which is about 'declaring lobbying, but I'm not a lobbyist. I'm Simply applying for a government grant.
My focus is on teaching as many people as possible, but this video explains how you can get a (free) mentor: th-cam.com/video/S0KLWDBHRMQ/w-d-xo.html. Re your second question, I wish we could apply once and get whichever certifications we qualify for, but unfortunately, that's not how the government works. We do have to apply separately for the 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB certifications.
Great and cleared information Thank you. On the documents provided at Sam.gov registration, do you include a copy of the IRS letter including EIN number?
Have to revise address , but will not allow. Registered accidentally as a PO Box but uploaded bank statement with home address. Does not appear to be any other way but to delete and restart?
You could contact the Help Desk at FSD.gov and ask them how to proceed. Depending on exactly where you are in the process, they may tell you to restart.
If i selected “myself” as the option for “who required your entity to be in Sam.gov?” Does that mean i messed up and I now have to redo my registration? Is it even possible to update a registered entity?
You're probably fine, did it allow you to complete the registration? If you completed your registration and your registration is Active, you're good to go! Yes, you can update your registration at any time. I'm working on a video right now that shows you how.
@@FedAccess thank you! I am still in the process. It did allow me to submit but I was rejected due to accidentally registering my entity as a US Government Agency and I do not know how to fix it. The drop down box is greyed out for me to make the adjustment. I am quite confused
confused. the last video from 9 mos ago went through the entire process including points of contact to submit your reg. this one stops short. Are there any other changes?
They changed the questions at the beginning of the process, and lots of people asked me to remake the video to show how to answer those new questions. After you get your UEI, please go back into SAM to complete the remainder of your registration, including Reps & Certs, Points of Contact, NAICS Codes, etc. That stuff is the same as before. I posted a new stand-alone video to help people answer the NAICS code question in the registration. If you have questions about other pieces of it, let me know.
Our SAM Registration is inactive since December 19, 2023. tried several times to renew but fail to do so as entity validation completed with wrong physical address which doesn't match with NCAGE Code.can you pls help us?
I'm outside the US but I;m American (from Pensacola, FL) and I'm having a hellofatime getting the NCAGE app filled out. For example the CVP codes are 8 digits but it says it's 10 digits... what do I do?! lol!
When applying for SBIR grant one of the requirement is to register with SAM.gov. In this case, I am not bidding for a Fed contract with the Fed but applying for a grant from the Fed. Are the steps for registration the grant application purpose are the same as bidding for a Fed contract as described in this video?
At some point in the registration process, they will ask you what you are trying to do. If you are certain that you will not be applying for contracts, then you can check the box for applying for grants. Either way, you start out the same, to get your business registered in SAM. PS: I've had lots of SBIRs and some are grants and some are contracts!
@@FedAccess Thank You for the quick response. Mine is for SBIR/NIH grant application. I am trying to start and to complete the registration today after I came across your illuminating step-by-step guide. I wonder do you know how long this registration process takes? My deadline for application is April 5th. Just about 5~6 weeks from now.
Hello, I have a complaint as below: - The steps instructed by FSD, but after being implemented in the sam.gov system cannot be realized, because in the sam.gov system you have to enter the documents again. - When we followed up by re-entering the document, it turned out that we got a new incident number, and our data which previously had an accepted status instead had a rejected status. - We have followed all the stages and times of the registration process in the sam.gov system according to the instructions in the sam.gov system for 4 months and there have been no results. please help
APEX works with people to help them get registered. They're paid by the government to help businesses get registered, so they don't charge for this! This video explains how to connect with them: th-cam.com/video/S0KLWDBHRMQ/w-d-xo.html
I thank you for explaining the intricacies of government contracting.
Wow! Thanks. Be blessed more and more!

For sole proprietor what needs to go in the legal business name?
Great video -I added a DBA at the time of registration; however they did not add it. Do I have to go through the entire process again to add my DBA or how can I add it. I already have the UEI number & cage code number. Thank you in advance.

Follow the steps in the video to register for contracts. You'll also be able to apply for grants.
Do I need to register a LLC to become a business or am I considered a "business" just by doing the procuring?
Is there a part 2 to this to finish the process when you have to come back to Sam.gov after validation?
I did not need to update any documents is that because during the verification step my business did show up in the list. ty

Your address in SAM is the physical address of the business. When you go through the registration process, that is the address to list
I have a business LLC from 2003 that I would like to change the name, can I change the name and still keep the same EIN?
Ok we need video 2 walking through the Core Data, Assertions, etc....
Yes! My status is in progress for Core data, but I’m not even sure the info went through?!
It won't allow you to submit your registration until you've gone through every page. I recommend walking through each page in order, be sure to hit save and continue on the bottom of each page, and at the end, you'll be able to Submit your registration.
I own 3 business can i register all of them in sam or only 1 thanks
Yes, you can register more than one business in SAM. However, you might want to consider consolidating all of your government work in one business.

Hi can i still register having a dba?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great and cleared information Thank you. On the documents provided at Sam.gov registration, do you include
a copy of the IRS letter including EIN number?
The IRS letter with your EIN is a great document to upload. It's not a required document, but it is a great document to submit.
Have to revise address , but will not allow. Registered accidentally as a PO Box but uploaded bank statement with home address. Does not appear to be any other way but to delete and restart?
You could contact the Help Desk at FSD.gov and ask them how to proceed. Depending on exactly where you are in the process, they may tell you to restart.
Good afternoon Ms Fedaccess,how do I delete and register without losing my UEI number?
Can u do a presentation regarding same?Thank you.
Why not Update the registration and change anything you need to, rather than delete it?
If i selected “myself” as the option for “who required your entity to be in Sam.gov?” Does that mean i messed up and I now have to redo my registration? Is it even possible to update a registered entity?
You're probably fine, did it allow you to complete the registration?
If you completed your registration and your registration is Active, you're good to go!
Yes, you can update your registration at any time. I'm working on a video right now that shows you how.

Most of the contract requires a large amount of money ahead or they already have the "old sellers ". It is hard for new businesses to get in.
