Become certified with the Small Business Development Office as a Minority Owned, Women Owned, Small, Small Local, or Veteran Owned Business! The service is free and the City of Boston now offers cross-certification with the Supplier Diversity Office.

The S/LBE office advocates on behalf of these businesses to help them compete successfully for City contracts as well as in the Boston area’s economy as a whole.
