The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Certification Program certifies firms to participate in incentive programs (Sheltered Market/Reserved Contracts) available for small businesses and their owners located in Broward County who want to do business with Broward County. This program is the result of a 2001 Disparity Study that identified existing barriers for local small businesses in their attempts to do business with Broward. The Small Business Enterprise Certification program is administered in addition to the Community Disadvantaged Enterprise Certification Program. The SBE Certification Program was introduced in 2004 to insure that small Broward businesses will receive a proportionate share of County business.
