SEE HOW IT WORKS

Why Take the ESB Exam?

Becoming an Entrepreneur or Small Business Owner is more than writing a business plan — it requires real skills. The ESB certification measures your knowledge of key business areas like planning, marketing, finance, and operations.

Entrepreneurs must know how to manage operations, make financial decisions, understand customers, and solve business problems. The Certiport Entrepreneurship & Small Business (ESB) Exam measures your skills.

The Entrepreneurship & Small Business (ESB) Certification shows that you understand how to start, manage, and operate a business and gain capital.

Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) certifications identify who owns a business — but they don’t teach how to operate one.

The ESB exam teaches you:

Understand how real businesses operate
Apply business knowledge to real situations
Understand how business owners make decisions
Prepare for business pitches and presentations
Learn how to write proposals, pitches, grants and contracts

Earning the ESB certification shows that you are

business-ready, not just idea-ready.
