5.26 Colorado Pathway to Certifiication
Join the Conversation
Certification is the process by which small, minority, and women-owned businesses seek to participate in business opportunities within government and private corporate contracts. Small, minorities and women owned businesses provide ever-increasing value to the Colorado economy. By facilitating a certification pathway and access to the various state purchasing and contracting opportunities, the Minority Business Office provides valuable services to many of these businesses which make up the state's fastest growing business sectors.
Being a certified minority-owned, women-owned and /or disadvantaged business is the beginning of new opportunities! Certification can significantly help your business gain access to government and private contracts. Whether you are just starting a business or your company is already established, you can considerable benefit from "set aside" contracts. There are several government agencies at the local, state, and federal level which offer certification, as well as private organizations.
