Sec. 2-347. - Business graduation from SBE program. Certification of a business enterprise as an SBE will be re-evaluated every two (2) years through the application renewal process. An SBE that desires to maintain its certification will be required to renew their application every two (2) years. An SBE who does not renew their application will be ineligible to participate in the SBE program until renewal is complete. Once the gross annual receipts of a business enterprise exceed seven million five hundred thousand dollars ($7,500,000.00), as averaged over the previous three-year period, then that business enterprise will no longer be eligible to participate in the City of Charleston SBE program. An SBE shall supply two (2) years' annual business income tax returns or other information required by the city to verify gross annual receipts. This information will be kept strictly confidential. (Ord. No. 2025-189, § 2, 12-16-25)
