Government Programs For
Minority-Owned Businesses

By Don Sadler


If you’re the owner of a minority or woman-owned business, you’re not the only one pulling for your business to succeed.

The federal government offers programs that provide business assistance and procurement opportunities especially for businesses that are owned by minorities and women, as well as other groups that are considered to be socially and economically disadvantaged. The special programs help these businesses tap into the approximately $200 billion the federal government spends with private-sector companies each year.

In this seminar, we’ll look at some of the most useful federal government assistance programs available to minority-, woman-owned and small disadvantaged businesses. Read on to find out about qualification criteria, how to apply for the programs and how the programs work.
