Certified Disability-Owned Business (CDOB) certification gives you priority access to federal and state procurement opportunities worth $5M+ annually. Certification costs $0-500 and provides significant contracting advantages.

CDOB status opens doors to set-aside contracts, provides marketing differentiation, and signals values-driven business. Government agencies and large corporations actively seek certified disability-owned vendors.

The business must be at least 51% owned by a person with a qualifying disability. Review SBA and state-specific requirements for documentation, control requirements, and management participation.

Start by reviewing eligibility at the SBA website and your state certification agency. Gather documentation of disability, ownership records, and business operations. Most applications take 60-90 days to process.
