Minority companies in the US have a differentiated and highly motivating treatment.
The scope is to get people in this ranking to grow their businesses, to successfully integrate them into the capitalist system, and to bring increasing well-being to their families.
The great importance of these programs, apart from the social meaning of these rules, is that they increasingly invest, create jobs, generate more taxes and depend less on state favors.
Annually, national minority entrepreneurs are selected to receive national recognition for their achievements in the following areas of activity:
- Minority Construction Firm of the Year
- Minority Export Firm of the Year

The award event takes place in Washington D.C. in a week called: National Minority Enterprise Development Week that will take place between September 9 and 19, 2019. How do you define these companies to get this award? Do they categorize these companies?

Which companies represent a minority as far as the law is concerned?
Minority companies must be at least 51% operated and controlled by minorities. For purposes of the NMSDC program, a member of a minority group is an individual who is at least 25% Asian, Black, Hispanic or Native American.
In Florida alone, between 170,445 and 212,000 companies registered to enjoy the benefits of being minority-owned businesses.
Benefits for Minority Businesses:
- Have a sense of community.
- Landing contracts that previously seemed unlikely.
- Opening up marketing opportunities.
- Obtaining access to government contracts.
Access and eligibility for government contracts is a huge benefit of certification. Most government entities at the federal, state, and local levels require that at least part of the business be targeted at women and minorities. You must still be qualified, of course, but this certification is a great advantage.
- Opening more opportunities.
- Putting your business in front of large corporations.
- Moving away from other companies.
As it turns out, Brazilians, for lack of knowledge or pride, did not qualify or sought this advantage.
It pays off to register and seek to become a minority business for all the benefits.
Brazilians will be at this opportunity
