Get Certified. Win Contracts.

Many businesses compete for government-funded projects. Certifications and designations signal legitimacy and help your firm stand out. EK Compliance has experience on every side of business certifications – applying for initial and additional certifications, reviewing applications, litigating issues, reviewing bids and contracts, ongoing compliance, and more.

State & Local Programs

Most states and many cities have certifications or designations for small businesses. In some states more categories of businesses are covered compared to federal programs. If you qualify for one of the federal programs and your state or city offers a small business certification, you probably qualify for that local program. Or, if you do not qualify for a federal program, you may still be eligible for a state or local certification.

Whether you need help submitting an initial application, have issues with ongoing compliance, or want some advice on how certifications can benefit your business, EK can be your guide.
