Category: HUBZone Certification

Why is HUBZone important?

Anyone that is located in a HUBZone (both home and office) and meets the requirements are eligible to obtain the SBA’s HUBZone Certification. Every five years the HUBZone program is required to update the HUBZone designations to ensure the program continues to serve the communities that are most in need of assistance. Most areas stay the same but some change.
