HOW THE HUBZone PROGRAM WORKS

The US Small Business Administration (SBA) regulates and implements the program and

  • maintains a listing of qualified HUBZone small businesses that Federal agencies can use to locate vendors,

  • reports to the Congress on the program's impact on employment and investment in HUBZone areas.

ELIGIBILITY

A small business must meet all of the following criteria to qualify for the HUBZone program:

  • it must be located in a "historically underutilized business zone" or HUBZone.
  • it must be owned and controlled by one or more US Citizens, and
