DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprises)

Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) refers to small businesses owned and operated by individuals who are socially and economically disadvantaged. This often includes minority groups, women, and people with disabilities. The DBE program aims to promote equal opportunities in government contracting and public projects, ensuring these businesses can compete fairly. DBE certification provides access to resources, funding, and contracts set aside specifically for them, helping to support their growth and sustainability in the marketplace while promoting diversity in business.
