Recent federal changes to the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program now require business owners to provide individual evidence of social and economic disadvantage as part of the certification process.
One of the most important components of the application is the Personal Narrative — a written explanation describing the barriers you have experienced and how those barriers affected your ability to succeed in business.
The Ohio Business Development Center (OBDC) is hosting a special online session today to help business owners understand how to prepare a strong narrative and avoid common mistakes that can delay or weaken certification applications.
During this session we will cover:
• What reviewers are looking for in a DBE Personal Narrative
• How to structure your narrative clearly and effectively
• The most common mistakes applicants make
• How to document economic impact and supporting evidence
This practical session will provide guidance to help you confidently prepare your narrative and strengthen your DBE certification application.
