HUBZone Certification

Empower Your Business with HUBZone Certification

The HUBZone program, established by the Small Business Administration (SBA), is designed to support small businesses located in historically underutilized business zones, both urban and rural. These HUBZones are areas that have not seen extensive use for government contracts. Unlike other certification programs like WOSB, VOSB, and 8(a), HUBZone certification focuses on the geographic location of the business and the residency of its employees.

HUBZone-certified businesses can benefit from:

Equitable Access to Government Contracts: Increased opportunities to compete for government contracts.
Price Evaluation Preference: A 10% price evaluation preference when bidding on government contracts.
Subcontracting Opportunities: Enhanced opportunities to participate as subcontractors.
Set-Aside Contracts: Access to contracts that are exclusively set aside for HUBZone businesses.

Maximize your business potential by leveraging the HUBZone certification to secure government contracts in underutilized areas. Federal Government Advisors (FGA) is here to guide you through the certification process, helping your business access these valuable opportunities.

Navigating the HUBZone Certification Process

The HUBZone certification process can be complex, but our team at FGA is dedicated to making it seamless for you. Our experienced advisors provide comprehensive, step-by-step guidance to ensure you navigate the certification process smoothly.

To qualify for the HUBZone program, your business must meet the following criteria:

Small Business Status: Your business must meet SBA’s definition of a small business.
Ownership and Control: The business must be at least 51% owned and controlled by U.S. citizens, a Community Development Corporation, an agricultural cooperative, or a Native American tribe.
Principal Office Location: The primary office must be located in a designated HUBZone, which includes areas like Indian Country and areas affected by the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process.
Employee Residency: At least 35% of your employees must reside in a HUBZone.

It’s essential to renew your HUBZone certification annually to maintain your status. Our FGA team will assist you in managing and renewing your certification each year.

Maximize Your Potential: Benefits of HUBZone Certification

Securing HUBZone certification offers your business a range of significant benefits:

Exclusive Government Contract Opportunities: Gain access to government contracts specifically set aside for HUBZone-certified businesses. The federal government aims to award 3% of its contracts to HUBZone businesses, providing a significant opportunity for growth.
Reduced Competition: With fewer businesses holding HUBZone certification, you face less competition for these contracts, increasing your chances of success.
Priority Consideration: HUBZone-certified businesses receive priority consideration for federal contracts. The government allocates approximately $12 billion in contracts annually, but only about 2% go to HUBZone businesses. There’s a strong push to reach the 3% goal, making this a prime opportunity for your business.
Community Impact: By achieving HUBZone certification, your business contributes to economic development and job creation in underutilized areas, supporting your local community.
