We are pleased to announce that INDIRAP has received both its SBA 8a and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Certifications.  With these certifications, we are able to explore new growth opportunities in the video production, content marketing and advertising industries.

INDIRAP achieved these national standards of certification through an in-depth application and review process with both the Small Business Administration as well as the National Minority Supplier Development Council. This prestigious certification, recognizes INDIRAP as a trusted, minority-owned business. Certification through the SBA & NMSDC is considered the gold standard in supplier diversity.

"While we've had amazing success over the past decade, our 8a and MBE certifications will explode our level of competitiveness and position us for even greater growth opportunities in both the private and government sectors," said Julian Tillotson, Founder & CEO of INDIRAP.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR INDIRAP

With these new certifications, INDIRAP will gain access to an expansive network of relationship-building opportunities.  Our client partners will benefit from collaborating with the INDIRAP team to deliver best-in-class content marketing to their doorstep.

HOW DO SBA 8A AND MBE CERTIFICATIONS BENEFIT OUR CLIENTS

Aside from the economic benefits, there are several intangible benefits to working with a Minority Business Enterprise. MBE vendors can offer cost saving strategies due to diversity spend requirements and taking advantage of several federal and state tax incentives, rebates and tax breaks. Partnering with an MBE can also broaden your brand recognition, social impact goals and brand culture initiatives.

Companies of all sizes are seeking minority owned businesses due to policies that require the company to meet their supplier diversity goals. The benefits are only increasing over time and meeting your diversity budgeting requirements as a business cannot only help your brand but allow you to expand into the government's state and/or federal opportunities as well. By meeting compliance requirements and utilizing a SBA 8a or MBE supplier, you can grow their revenue by acquiring larger purchase opportunities that require a specific amount of spend through a MBE certified company.
