Business Enterprise (MBE) Certification

We here at Ask Tax will show you the best way that your business can apply for a Minority Business Enterprise Certification with the Department of Transportation. We fill out the entire application for you, gather some important documents that are needed, and walk you through the process so that your company can get certified as a Minority Business with the state and federal agencies. There is a checklist with the Maryland Department of Transportation Application that explains all of the documents you will need to have attached with your application. One of the items is a business plan. A business plan is blueprint of your company, presented in standard business format that is logical and well documented. A good business plan is also:

1. A strategic vision of your company,
2. Your most important communication tool,
3. A document to obtain working capital and/or investments,
4. A tool for planning, measuring and improving performance,
5. A basis for future goals.

Once you are certified, you will be able to double the amount of contracts that you normally have and charge government rates for your work.
