Local Certification Renewal

​​​​​​​NOTIFICATION Regarding Renewals

​All local certification application renewals, and required support documentation, must be submitted for review via Broward County's new Business Management System (BMS), powered by B2Gnow. Documentation in support of a firm's continuing eligibility to remain certified under the County Business Enterprise (CBE) and/or Small Business Enterprise (SBE) programs must be submitted to OESBD on an annual basis. 

​​​​​​​​​​Before You Renew

  • The renewal process may be initiated in BMS 30 days before your CBE/SBE certification anniversary date. ​
  • Verify your vendor profiles information in BMS and ensure your company's contact and user information is complete and accurate. 
  • If you have questions about required support documents, please email BMScert@​broward.org or call 954-357-6400 to speak with a member of our  certification team. 

Steps to Renew

Step 1: Navigate to the BMS website and log into your vendor account​. If this is your first time using the BMS, click on the "Account Lookup" button - located towards the bottom right section of your screen - to verify if you have an existing account in the system. (If you have a pre-existing account with another B2Gnow client, you do not need to create a new one. You only need one account across the B2Gnow network.)

If you have an account but forgot your password, click the "Forgot Password" button and follow the prompts to reset your password. 

If you need to create a new account, click the "Contact Customer Support" hyperlink on the Account Lookup window. 

Step 2: Once logged into BMS, clock on "Renew/Apply for Certification" under the "Key Actions" subheading.  

Step 3: Under "Select an Option", click on "Your firm is currently certified with Broward County".

Step 4: Click on "Your Firm is CBE/SBE certified".

​​​Step 5: Click on "Submit an Annual CBE/SBE Application (Required Annually)".​

Step 6: Under "Company & Contact Information" verify that the company name displayed is the one for which you are completing the renewal process.

Step 7: Select "Yes" or "No" under the "Eligibility Requirements" section and click the "Continue" button. 

Step 8: Complete the renewal process and upload support documentation in BMS. 

Supporting Documents:

  • A completed Personal Networth​ Worksheet (available in BMS).
  • A copy of the first page of the current year’s business tax return (Form 1120, 1120S, 1065, or a Schedule C)
  • Current County and Municipal Business Tax Receipts (formerly occupational license), Professional Licenses and/or Competencies, and any other required Certifications,​ as applicable.
  • Copies of 2 to 3 contracts/invoices/bills of sale/etc. of services rendered in the last 12 months
  • Copy of current lease for non-home-based businesses 

Step 9: If you have not already done so, you will need to register your company to do business with Broward County by becoming a registered vendor. This will allow you to view and respond to active Broward County solicitations. The process is free!
