Business Certification

This section is optional in the supplier onboarding process. For Walmart and Sam’s Club, U.S. small business means a company that meets the U.S. Small Business Administration (U.S. SBA) Industry Size Standards through a voluntary SBA Certification or is verified through an internal verification process as meeting these industry size standards. Suppliers that have attained U.S. Small Business Administration certification or its equivalency to industry size standards via an internal verification process are eligible to participate in our U.S. Small Business Program. Suppliers are also welcome to share other voluntary certifications they have attained; however, being certified has no bearing on Walmart’s or Sam’s Club’s decision to do business with a supplier.

  1. Indicate whether your company meets the U.S. Small Business Administration (U.S. SBA) Industry Size Standards by answering the first question. If No, a second question will not populate and will not require an answer or documentation.
  2. When answering the first question with Yes or Unsure, a secondary question will populate to verify if you are certified through a voluntary SBA Certification or if you are verified through an internal verification process as meeting the SBA industry size standards.
    If you answer the secondary question with Yes, you will be required to upload documentation of your SBA size standard verification.
  3. For the last question, you are welcome to share other voluntary certifications you have attained; however, being certified has no bearing on Walmart’s or Sam’s Club’s decision to do business with a you. Click Continue.
    If you answer the last question with Yes, you will be required to upload documentation of any other voluntary certifications you have attained.
  1. The green banner indicates that your Business certification information has been recorded and updated. If you selected Yes to either the secondary or the last question in the previous step, click Add Certificate to submit your business certification(s).
  1. Select the Certifying Agency and upload the file (maximum 5 MB). Click Save to continue.
  1. The green banner indicates that your business certification has been added successfully. If you have additional certification, click Add Certificate and repeat Step 4 and 5. Click Back in the page header to return to the supplier onboarding dashboard.
    A green check mark on the dashboard indicates you completed all tasks in the associated onboarding tile. The task progress bar increments up to reflect the current status of the supplier onboarding process.
