Capacity building is an important concept for agencies involved in supporting minority owned businesses. Capacity building has not been utilized to a great extent for this purpose, and it has been the subject of little research in the United States. This study took an initial step in laying a foundation for filling the research gap by surveying owners of minority business enterprises in a mid-Atlantic state and by examining their perceptions of the extent to which the SBA 8(a), DBE, and MBE certification programs helped build the financial, organizational, and social capacities of their businesses. None of the three agencies examined were perceived to be doing well with helping build capacities of the certified firms, and there were no statistically significant differences in perceptions of capacity building among the three agencies. Expressions of dissatisfaction with their certification experience were numerous, especially as related to financial capacity, and were an indication that minority business certification agencies need to be more effective in helping build capacities. Further research in this area was recommended to better understand why none of the factors examined by this study was able to explain the differences in perceptions observed. Light has now been shed on the perceptions of capacity building and more emphasis should be placed on outcomes rather than merely activity in the minority business certification programs.
