No, only for-profit businesses can apply to be qualified as a small business. Is a small business the same as a minority business? No, but a business can be both if it has been qualified as a small business and has been certified by the Maryland Department of Transportation’s (MDOT) Minority Business Enterprise Program as a minority business. For more information about the Minority Business Enterprise Program visit http://www.mdot.state.md.us/MBE_Program/overview SMALL BUSINESS RESERVE RESOURCES To apply for certification as a qualified small business, the Department of General Services (DGS) has established an online self-certification process.
