Certifications

Switch Lighting & Design is proud to have earned these government and association certifications — and to share the advantages with our clients.

Ohio MBE/EDGE Certification

Switch has both MBE and EDGE certification from the State of Ohio.

The MBE (Minority Business Enterprise) and EDGE (Encouraging Diversity, Growth, and Equity) programs set goals for state agencies in awarding contracts to certified EDGE businesses. MBE sets a 15 percent goal for state agencies and commissions in awarding contracts to MBE businesses. Ohio also has reciprocity agreements for these programs with some other states.

Cincinnati SBE Certification

Cincinnati’s Small Business Enterprise (SBE) program promotes the economic well-being of the people of the City of Cincinnati along with full and equal business opportunity for people doing business with the City of Cincinnati. For instance, construction over $100,000 includes a mandatory 20% SBE subcontracting goal. Switch, located in downtown Cincinnati, is SBE certified.

Federal HUBZone Certification

The HUBZone (Historically Underutilized Business Zone) designation provides federal contracting preferences to small businesses in urban and rural communities.

Switch’s recent HUBZone approval benefits our partners in earning federal sole-sole-source and competitive bid opportunities.
