Which certifications can you actually get?

Eight questions. AI-powered analysis trained on NYC SBS, NY State, NMSDC, WBENC, and federal SBA criteria. Honest answers — including "you don't qualify yet, here's why."

Question 1 of 9

How long has your business been operating?

Most certifications require at least 1 year of operating history.

How does the majority owner identify?

Pick what applies to the person who owns 51%+ of the business. You can pick multiple.

What percentage does the qualifying owner hold?

Most M/WBE certifications require 51% ownership by a qualifying individual.

What's your annual gross revenue?

Different certifications have different size thresholds — this matters for federal small-business programs.

How many employees do you have?

Including yourself, full-time + part-time. Federal HUBZone and SBA size standards care about this.

Where is your business headquartered?

NYC certifications require a primary NYC office. NY State certs require a NY State office.

What industry are you in?

Pick the closest category. This affects NAICS codes and which set-asides apply to you.

Do you already have any certifications?

Check all that apply. If you're certified somewhere, you might only need help with the next step.

Where should we send your personalized report?

Your results will show on the next screen — this is so we can email you a PDF copy you can keep, and follow up if anything changes about your eligibility (new programs, deadlines, etc).

By submitting you agree we can email you the report + occasional eligibility-change updates. We never sell your information. Privacy policy.
