EZHUBZone takes all of the guess work out of the HUBZone Certification Process.  In July of 2008 the GAO (Government Accounting Office) made a determination that many firms in the HUBZone program were in fact ineligible for the program.  Since that time the SBA has made the process for getting Hubzone Certified much more stringent.  It now takes much longer than the previous self certification process.  If there is an error in your application expect for the application to be rejected by the SBA.  Also expect the SBA to ask for all supporting documentation with regard to your application.  The SBA will ask for utility bills to prove the Primary Business location as well as specific information regarding HUBZone employees.   This additional level of due-diligence the SBA is not performing has lengthened the HUBZone Certification process to 6-9 months.  If the application is denied the applicant firm must wait one full year from the time of the rejection by the SBA for reapplying.  This in effect delays the firm from getting its HUBZone an additional 18-21 months.  Therefore it is important that your HUBZone Application be completed correctly the first time.
