The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program specifically for minority, woman, and service-disabled veteran owned business, is committed to providing assistance to Lee County’s small business community in the following areas: State Government Certification application assistance; business and technical assistance; and procurement assistance.

The DBE program is not an entitlement program, but a marketing program for qualified businesses to become certified and aggressively go after county and state contracts.

Eligibility:
There are eligibility requirements to become certified as a minority, woman, and/or service-disabled veteran owned business with the State of Florida. To become certified, a business must satisfy these requirements and also submit supporting documents to the State Office of Supplier Diversity (OSD). For detailed information, go to the OSD website.

The following documents will give you more information. The ones marked are Adobe Acrobat Reader files. If you don't already have the Reader, you can download it for free at Adobe's Website.
