A few years ago, I met a small business owner—let’s call her Maria—who ran a civil engineering firm out of rural Georgia. She was brilliant, had great clients, and was just trying to grow. But despite all her hustle, she hit a ceiling. That changed the day she got HUBZone certified. Fast forward....and within 18 months, Maria was landing federal contracts she never thought she’d qualify for. Some as sole source awards, others as set-asides. Her revenue nearly doubled. Why? Because she tapped into a $22 Billion opportunity that most businesses are too intimidated to explore. That opportunity is the HUBZone Certification—and right now, fewer than 5,000 firms are participating. Let that sink in: $22 Billion divided by 5,000 equals... well, a lot of opportunity. |

The HUBZone Advantage: What You Get
So what makes HUBZone so powerful?
-10% Price Preference on competitive bids
-Eligibility for Sole Source & Set-Aside Contracts
-Federal Spending in Every U.S. State and Territory
And here’s the kicker: the rules have gotten easier. One of the biggest myths is that HUBZone compliance is a nightmare. Not anymore. The Small Business Administration has made it more practical than ever to stay compliant and maintain certification.
