A Diverse Owned Business Certificate (DOBC) is a certification that is provided by a variety of organizations to recognize a specific business as being owned and controlled by a diverse group of individuals. By having this certification, a business is able to access opportunities, resources, and programs that are only available to those that are certified as a DOBC. A DOBC is an important business tool for those looking to increase opportunities for their business and increase their potential for growth.

Having a DOBC is beneficial for businesses as it provides evidence of their diversity, as well as, their commitment to equal opportunity for all. This certification also gives businesses access to specific services and opportunities that are not available to non-certified businesses. This can include access to government contracts, special funding programs, additional resources, and networking opportunities.
