Certifications can be required or beneficial for small business to complete. Luckily there are [[Small_Business_Development_Ecosystem_of_Houston#Resources|Resources]] available to help your business get the certifications it needs.

==What is it?==

Certifications are typically formal accreditations that can often accompany a training program or application.

==Why is it important for my business?==

Many small businesses need specific certifications for day-to-day operations, but some small businesses qualify for another type of certification depending on the business owners. At a national level, the Small Business Administration (SBA) provides certifications to traditionally underrepresented business owners (i.e., women, minorities, and veterans). At a state and local level, several organizations also provide certificates to these types of businesses. You should apply to receive one or more of these certifications if you qualify. They provide you with more access to federal and state benefits such as SBD procurement mechanisms, targeting competition to specific industries where there are disparities, and increasing economic activity in distressed activities.
