Verifying Indigenous ownership

Procurement programs in Canada define an Indigenous business by ownership and control. The federal Procurement Strategy for Indigenous Business and the Indigenous Business Directory require a business to be at least 51% owned and controlled by Indigenous people. On a set-aside contract, at least 33% of the value of the work must be performed by Indigenous businesses.

The Canadian Council for Indigenous Business certifies businesses against the same test, using documents that show who holds the shares and who controls decisions.

We provide ownership documentation with every prequalification package. Request it here.
