Applying for certifications can be time consuming in obtaining various documentations, evidence to substantiate minority status and experience. At times, there are 30-plus government contract proposal pages to read, and the specific list of bid criteria needed will consume a large amount of your business time.
Becoming certified doesn't guarantee government contracts.
