I've heard that as a woman, minority, disabled, or veteran owned business I may qualify for certification that will help me get more business. What is this and how do I do it?

Depending on your interest in pursuing federal or state contracting opportunities you may qualify for certification as a disadvantaged business. To find out how to qualify or to learn more about state or federal contracting programs, please register for SBDC consulting or contact Idaho PTAC. Certification is useful only when pursuing federal and state contracting opportunities. For general business purposes, any business that is owned by a woman, disabled person or minority can self-certify by indicating in their marketing that they are a disadvantaged business.
