The Virginia Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity (SBSD) is dedicated to empowering small, women, and minority-owned businesses through various certification programs, including Small Women and Minority-owned businesses (SWaM), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), and Service-Disabled Veteran-owned businesses (SDV). By providing education, access to capital, and business development opportunities, SBSD aims to foster economic growth and employment across the Commonwealth.
In addition to its certification efforts, SBSD offers financing programs through the Virginia Small Business Financing Authority (VSBFA), enabling not-for-profits and economic development authorities to secure the necessary funds for expansion. The department also supports economic development by conducting workshops, trainings, and one-on-one counseling sessions to help businesses thrive in Virginia.
