Hi Liz, I am a resident of TN and I am looking to register my business. Do you think you can help??

[@lizmichael6901]

@@demarcussears34 Hello, my knowledge is related to small businesses in the transportation industry. Registering a business is a state process. The steps provided in this video are a great guide. May I suggest checking the local SCORE organization in your community or neighboring community (retirees with business development experiences), they usually offer zoom trainings with good to know business development trainings. Or search for your local college’s small business incubator programs, or entrepreneurs/ mentor protégé programs within your area to gather information on becoming a state recognized business.

GeHow to Get Certified as a Minority-Owned Business if the owner is a Online service? If a online service they may not have a physical office such as Online tutoring, online clothing line, or what if the person charges online for food recipes for examples?

[@KristinaMWynne]

@@Lwalker72 Great question, the application process will be the same but for the business’ physical location you would put your home address/virtual office address and you would either need to produce your tax bill to show that you are the homeowner or produce a lease agreement if you are renting the location.

Or, in a case where on Father's side, Grandmother is black, Grandfather is 1/4 Native American. How is this decided? What about a case where a person is 25% black and 75% white - Non-Hispanic?

David Edward's checking in From N.C. Why can't you get registered as a sol proprietor?

[@KristinaMWynne]

Hi David, you actually can get certified as a sole proprietor, dependent on the type of professional service that you offer. If you are offering a true service (ie construction) or product it will require you to be structured as a business entity. To bid on contracts and even sometimes as a subcontractor to the prime contractors require you have to hold special insurance and bonding to qualify for these projects.

If you're registered in the SAM system, you're self certified, can you use that to get federal contracts?

[@KristinaMWynne]

This is a great question, yes you can still bid on contracts but the self-service registration on SAM is not the same as being certified as a MBE. The MBE certification allows you specific opportunities, for instance a contract may have a 5% spending goal specifically for a minority business, in order to qualify getting that opportunity you have to be certified as a minority business.

Question. According to the application for National Certification as a Minority owned and controlled business / Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), under Ownership and Control it states: Presumed Minority owns 100% of the assets of a sole proprietorship and 100% of the control of a sole proprietorship. So, that in itself qualifies Sole Proprietors (minority owned) as a Minority Owned Business and can get certified. Am I correct?

How's does MBE certification differ from the SDVOSB certification? Would you know what the advantages and disadvantages are?

[@KristinaMWynne]

Hi Brandun thank you for the question, the difference is the designation, but as a minority service disable veteran you are able to get both. What I can say, is the SDVOSB has lower utilization than the MBE certification; so as it relates to the diverse spend requirements in contracts there is typically spending goals for both minority owned businesses and veteran owned businesses. Because the are less certified SDVOSB than MBEs the competition among SDVOSBs is less (meaning greater chance of wynning the contract) I encourage you to check out our Certification Bootcamp, it coaches you on how to complete each component of the certification and the documents so you are able to complete the application without the confusion: bit.ly/30DayCertificationBootcamp

This may be a silly question, but why is it important to register as an MBE instead of the standard way of certifying/filing your business?... Primarily, aid and exposure? I just saw that question when organizing my business in Texas, but there's limited information on the SOS website.

[@KristinaMWynne]

Hi Lovell, that’s a great question. One of the main benefits of becoming certified as a MBE is the opportunity to participate in government contracting. Becoming certified is not an alternative to getting your business filed as an entity through your state. Actually, you will want to get a standard business entity set up like an LLC or incorporation before you get certified as a MBE.

This is a great question, there is actually a certification specifically for business owners who have disabilities. So you wouldn’t qualify as a minority business, you can get certified as a disabled owned business and still get contract opportunities with that specific designation.

Thank you for the valuable information. Does the term minority women owned applies the same way if your company is comprised with Black & Asians women owning 51% or more as if it is comprised by only black women owning 51% or more? Thank you.

[@KristinaMWynne]

Hi Fatou that’s a great question, black, Hispanic, Asian, and Indian, are all used anonymously here. As long as the owner is in one or more than one of those groups they are considered a minority woman.

Hi Kristina I have a question. I have a cleaning business since 2020, but I don't have a green card yet, just a social card and a work permit, can I do it with those documents?

[@KristinaMWynne]

Hi there, great question. In order to be certified you do need to be a citizen of the United States. So unfortunately you will not be able to get certified with a social card and a work permit.

Without knowing more information about your specific situation, the general response will be no, you should not apply if you cannot provide any business tax returns.
