For years, we have had one premier certification that is nationally recognized: Minority Business Enterprise (MBE). We now have two new additional classifications that will allow us to serve more diverse businesses throughout the state of Florida. Our new classifications have created additional ways for diverse businesses to be part of our database and begin their path to becoming a nationally certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE).
A Minority Business is a for-profit enterprise, regardless of size, physically located in the United States or its trust territories, which is owned, controlled and managed by minority group members. “Minority group members” are African-American, Latino-American, Native American, Asian-Pacific American or Asian-Indian American by birth and bloodline. “Ownership” by minority individuals means the business is at least 51% owned by such individuals or, in the case of a publicly-owned business, at least 51% of the stock is owned by one or more such individuals. Further, those minority group members control the governance of the business and manage its daily business operations.
If you are a minority-owned business, but only interested in opportunities within Florida, MB classification may be of interest to you.
There are two types of MB classification: Registered MB and Listed MB.

These classifications have a shorter processing time, lower fees and require limited documentation.
