There’s a classic George Carlin line: “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.” But when it comes to the HUBZone Club, you can be in it—and it could change the trajectory of your business.
Many business leaders overlook one key fact about the HUBZone Program: once firms join, they stay. The average HUBZone-certified company maintains its certification for an impressive 11 years. These aren’t short-term opportunists—these are businesses that have found their niche and are consistently winning federal work, year after year.
In 2024 alone, nearly 600 new companies joined the HUBZone Program. That’s a strong inflow—but with about 7,700 active HUBZone-certified firms, the data tells us most have been leveraging the program for years. And it pays off. These firms collectively generate between $14–15 billion annually in federal sales. On average, a HUBZone-certified firm does over $2 million per year in federal revenue—and that number more than doubles if the firm also holds a GSA Schedule Contract.
While construction firms aren’t eligible for GSA Schedules, HUBZone-certified construction businesses still see healthy returns, with $2–3 million per year in average sales.
Why HUBZone Program Matters to You
According to our data, your business is located in a HUBZone-qualified county. That means both your primary office and your employees are likely to meet eligibility requirements—making it easier for you to not only qualify for HUBZone status but also maintain it over time.
Approximately 1,700 firms nationwide (about 22% of all HUBZone businesses) gained certification based on being in a designated HUBZone county—just like yours.
Yet thousands of eligible firms miss this opportunity. Federal agencies spend billions with HUBZone businesses every year—in every U.S. state and territory. If you’re not certified, you’re potentially leaving serious revenue on the table.
