Dollars and Sense: Native-Owned Businesses

Nordin Solutions is a Native American-owned business.

But why does that matter?

Working with a Native business provides confidence that its solutions will respect the history, culture, and values of its partners.  While no two Native communities are the same, all understand the importance of diversity, mutual respect, and common purpose.  Nordin Solutions draws on these principles when working with all its clients.  Whatever your background, we will deliver an answer that honors what is important to you.

Native Americans also represent the smallest fraction of business owners in the U.S.

National, state, and local governments have created several programs to encourage Native business and partnerships with non-Natives.  One of these is the Department of Defense’s Indian Incentive Program (IIP).

Under this program, contractors who bring on qualified Native businesses as sub-contractors or suppliers may apply for a 5% rebate on the cost of the Native services and materials.  This provides a powerful dollar advantage to companies that partner with Native American companies like Nordin Solutions.

To be eligible a firm must show 51% Native American/Alaskan Native/Hawaiian ownership and demonstrate that the owner(s) are enrolled in a Federally Recognized Tribe.

For more information on how to participate in this program – either as a Native business or someone looking to partner with one – visit: DoD Office of Small Business Programs.

Business is about dollars and sense:  finding ways to make the most of your money and get the best return…but doing it in a way that is true to the things you value.  Partnering with Nordin Solutions will help you with both.
