Frustrations of Small Business Owners in Understanding Diversity Certification Programs

The Federal Government has had initiatives in place since the 1980s to help the minority and woman owned businesses get contracts from Public and Private Companies and also through Federal and local government bodies. The diversity programs encourage large companies to do business with certified companies by giving certain tax incentives. These corporations then develop their internal diversity programs setting aside certain goals in purchase, procurement and services through these certified companies. These goals are generally between 15% to even 30% at times. The Federal Government also participates by setting aside similar goals directed towards helping the certified businesses.affiliate marketing traffic unique visitors
