Become a certified small business and gain access to federal and state funding to help you grow.
We guarantee to get your business certified with the federal or home state government or your money back.
The federal government awarded $183 billion last year to 78,667 small businesses, so being recognized and certified is paramount.
Starting a business can be daunting, and while there are a number of revenue channels and support resources available to small businesses, it can be a challenge to identify exactly which opportunities are out there. Without the applicable certifications, a business will limit its ability to win certain bids and reduce its visibility in acquiring funds set aside specifically for disadvantaged businesses.
Become a certified disadvantaged small business with Squared Compass as your trusted advisor and make the most of the funding and support available to you now.
