HUBZone Certification Workshop

The HUBZone Empowerment Contracting Program stimulates economic development and creates jobs in urban and rural communities by providing Federal contracting preferences to small businesses. These preferences go to small businesses that obtain HUBZone (Historically Underutilized Business Zone) certification in part by employing staff who live in a HUBZone. Thirty-five percent of your employees must reside in a HUBZone in order to qualify. The business must also be 51% owned and controlled by U.S. Citizens. The company must also maintain a "principal office" in one of these specially designated HUBZone areas. To find out if your business is located in a HUBZone go to http://map.sba.gov/hubzone/init.asp#address and enter your business location. You may use this same link to determine which of your employees reside in a HUBZone.
