The DFW Business Council certification platform serves as an official certification platform for qualifying businesses to obtain Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) certifications in North Texas. Certification is designed to promote access to public contracting opportunities.

• SBE certifications, including SBE and SBE Plus designations, promote small business participation in local infrastructure projects, professional services, and supplier networks. The Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Plus certification is an expanded application based upon input from North Texas public agency buying entities and their requirements to do business with them.
• Through HUB certification, businesses can increase visibility in state procurement and subcontracting programs.
• The dual certification (“SBE +HUB”) allows for broader access and better compliance across different jurisdictions.
