The Met Council participates in two small business programs: the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program (DBE), and the Metropolitan Council Underutilized Business Program (MCUB).
These programs strive to ensure equitable participation of minority, women and underutilized businesses in projects and procurements.
Our small business programs are separated by which funding source the project or procurement uses.
Minnesota Unified Certification Program (MNUCP) lists organizations and programs aimed at providing training and technical assistance, along with access to business and financial resources that help small businesses group their capacity and compete more effectively.
A good small business conference or training is a great place to uncover ways to improve your business, whether you attend in person or send key members of your team.
