Small Business Owner Certification

Merit-Based, not Affirmative Action-based, Small Business Owner Certification1 is for companies that rely upon the quality of their goods and services and not politics! These companies conduct business in the true manner of merchantilism because the marketplace desires their goods and services whereas Affirmative Action companies cannot compete without political coercion.
