The HUBZone Map
How to Check If You're in a HUBZone
The SBA maintains an official HUBZone map at maps.certify.sba.gov where you can enter your business address to check eligibility. HUBZones include qualified census tracts, qualified non-metropolitan counties, lands on Indian reservations, and qualified disaster areas. The map updates periodically — areas can gain or lose designation. If your principal office is in a HUBZone today, now is the time to get certified before the zone potentially changes. FEDCON can verify your eligibility, confirm your employee residency meets the 35% threshold, and handle the full SBA application.
The Challenge
Most Eligible Businesses Never Get Certified
They don't know they qualify — the HUBZone map is confusing and most business owners have never checked their address against SBA designations.
The 35% employee residency rule trips them up — employees must live in any HUBZone, but tracking and documenting this for the SBA is tedious and error-prone.
The application process is intimidating — between address verification, employee records, ownership documentation, and size standard calculations, most give up before they start.
HUBZone boundaries change periodically — a qualifying address today can lose its designation, putting your certification at risk if you're not monitoring the SBA map.

FAQ
Common Questions About HUBZone Certification
A HUBZone (Historically Underutilized Business Zone) is a designated area where the SBA encourages economic development by giving certified businesses preferential access to federal contracts. If your business is located in one of these areas, you may qualify for significant competitive advantages.
At least 35% of your employees must live in a HUBZone. They don't need to live in the same HUBZone as your office — any designated HUBZone counts. FEDCON verifies this requirement before you apply so there are no surprises during SBA review.
Yes. Your principal office — the location where the greatest number of employees perform their work — must be in a designated HUBZone. The SBA verifies this against their official map at maps.certify.sba.gov. FEDCON confirms your address qualifies before starting your application.
The SBA typically processes HUBZone applications in 60–90 days. However, incomplete applications or missing documentation can cause significant delays. Working with an experienced consultant helps avoid common mistakes that slow the process.
Yes. The SBA recertifies HUBZone businesses annually. If your principal office moves out of a HUBZone, your employee residency drops below 35%, or the zone designation changes, you may lose certification. FEDCON helps you maintain compliance year after year.
