Small Business
Owner Certification

Small Business Owner Certification1 awarded by Texas SBA® is celebrated as large corporations and other agencies seek verification of small business ownership. Presenting your certification status to business partners, customers, and the general public may generate additional sales for your company.

Texas SBA® enables business owners to give purchasing managers, contractors, lenders, customers, and others business partners evidence their company is registered with Small Business Owner Certification1. This is very important because many corporations and agencies seek to purchase the services and goods of companies registered with Small Business Owner Certification.
