Quais empresas representam minoria para efeito da lei?
Empresas minoritárias devem ser, pelo menos, 51% operadas e controladas por minorias. Para os propósitos do programa do NMSDC, um membro de um grupo minoritário é um indivíduo que é pelo menos 25% asiático, negro, hispânico ou nativo americano.
Somente na Flórida, entre 170.445 e 212.000 empresas se cadastraram para usufruir dos benefícios de serem empresas que pertencem as minorias.
Benefícios para empresas de minoria:
- Ter um senso de comunidade.
- Contratos de desembarque que antes pareciam improváveis.
- Abrindo oportunidades de marketing.
- Obtenção de acesso a contratos governamentais.
O acesso e a elegibilidade para contratos governamentais é um enorme benefício da certificação. A maioria das entidades governamentais nos níveis federal, estadual e local exige que pelo menos parte dos negócios seja destinada a mulheres e minorias. Você ainda deve ser qualificado, é claro, mas essa certificação é uma grande vantagem.
- Abrindo mais oportunidades.
- Colocando seu negócio na frente de grandes corporações.
- Afaste-se de outras empresas.
Ao que consta, os brasileiros, por falta de conhecimento ou por orgulho, não se classificaram ou buscaram esta vantagem.
Vale a pena se inscreverem e buscarem negócios usando esta facilidade, ou contratarem uma assessoria para este fim.
Os brasileiros se encaixam nesta oportunidade

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.
