Documents used along the form

The Michigan 4106 form is an essential document for businesses seeking to participate in the Michigan Department of Transportation's Small Business Program. Along with this form, several other documents are commonly required to ensure a complete application. Below is a list of these documents, along with brief descriptions of each.

  • Business Tax Returns: These forms provide proof of gross receipts and are typically required for the past three fiscal years. They help determine the business's eligibility based on its financial performance.
  • NAICS Code Documentation: This document identifies the North American Industry Classification System codes that best describe the business activities. Accurate classification is crucial for assessing compliance with size standards.
  • Minnesota Promissory Note: This legal document serves as a written promise to pay a specified amount of money and is crucial for ensuring clarity and protection. For more details, visit https://promissoryform.com/blank-minnesota-promissory-note/.
  • Affidavit of No Affiliates: This affidavit confirms whether the business has any affiliates or subsidiaries. It is important for determining the overall size and eligibility of the business under the program.
  • Ownership Structure Documentation: This includes details about the business's ownership, such as the names and addresses of owners, partners, and stockholders. It helps clarify control and ownership percentages.
  • Employee Count Verification: This document outlines the total number of employees, including full-time, part-time, and temporary staff. It is essential for meeting the size standards based on employee count.
  • Authorization Letter: If someone other than the business owner is submitting the application, an authorization letter is necessary. This letter grants permission for the representative to act on behalf of the business.

Gathering these documents along with the Michigan 4106 form can streamline the application process and enhance the chances of successful participation in the Small Business Program. Ensure that all information is accurate and up-to-date to avoid delays in the application review process.

Instructions FOR SMALL BUSINESS Program application

For participation in the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT)

SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAM

Carefully read these instructions and the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) size regulations found at 13 Code of Federal Regulations Part 121 before completing this form.

To qualify for the Small Business Program, applicants must meet SBA small business size standards for the industry in which the applicant will be bidding.

No business, including affiliates and subsidiaries, will qualify for this program if gross receipts as averaged over the previous three years exceed $22.41 million.

General Instructions

1.Information provided will be used by the MDOT to determine small business size of non- disadvantaged business enterprises (non-DBEs). MDOT may, at its discretion, request additional information not specifically identified on this form.

a.Non-DBEs must provide this information once a year, or at least 30 days before bidding, in order to bid on Small Business Program projects.

b.Michigan-certified DBEs do not need to complete this form. Annual verification of small business size is a condition of DBE certification.

2.Select North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes that best describe your business and then determine if the business meets size standards for the selected codes. SBA size standards are usually stated either in number of employees over the past 12 months, or average annual receipts over the past three years – whichever number represents the largest size of your business right now (including subsidiaries and affiliates). Size standards are available for every private sector industry in the U.S. economy, with the NAICS used to identify the industries. The steps are simple to determine your size:

a.Identify the NAICS code(s) that best describe(s) your business activities. http://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/

See Identifying Industry Codes at http://www.sba.gov/content/identifying-industry- codes for more helpful resources.

b.Determine your Industry's size standard using the Table of Small Business Size Standards at http://www.sba.gov/content/table-small-business-size-standards. Match your NAICS code(s) with the appropriate size standard(s).

3.One copy of MDOT SBP Application, with additional sheets attached as needed, must be returned to the MDOT Office of Business Development.

4.The person signing this form must be authorized to do so. Non-employee representatives of the business, such as attorneys or accountants, must provide a letter authorizing them to represent the firm. The information requested must be complete. Failure to supply complete information may cause delays in making a size determination or impose adverse inferences that the business is not small.

5.All affiliates of the business, whether acknowledged or not, and whether foreign or domestic, must be disclosed. SBA's criteria for defining affiliates should be carefully reviewed. In 13 CFR §121.103, SBA identifies various forms of affiliation.

MDOT 4106 (10/12)

Page 5 of 9

6.Where the applicable size standard involves "number of employees", a business' average number of employees on payroll before for the 12 months preceding the application or offers is examined, including all individuals who are fulltime, part-time, temporary or other basis, of both domestic and foreign affiliates. See 13 CFR § 121.106 of SBA's regulations.

7.Where applicable size standards involve "average annual receipts", a business' annual receipts mean total income (or gross income in the case of a sole proprietorship) plus cost of goods sold as these terms are defined and reported on the business' Federal Income Tax Return, which must be attached to this eligibility request determination. See 13 CFR § 121.104 of SBA's regulations.

8.MDOT must determine the primary industry activity or the NAICS code of a business as part of its size determination for the Small Business Program. In making this size determination, consideration is given to various criteria, such as the distribution of a business' revenues, employment and costs associated with doing business. See 13 CFR 121.107.

9.For purposes of this form, MDOT considers a principal of the business as those persons or affiliated businesses that own 10 percent or more of its ownership. In cases where no individual or affiliated business owns at least 10 percent interest, the five largest interest holders and their percentages of interest must be listed. Additionally, the principal officers and their interest in the business must be listed.

10.Affiliation is defined in the Small Business Administration (SBA) regulations, 13 CFR part 121.

(1)Except as otherwise provided in 13 CFR part 121, concerns are affiliates of each other when, either directly or indirectly:

(i)One concern controls or has the power to control the other; or

(ii)A third party or parties controls or has the power to control both; or

(iii)An identity of interest between or among parties exists such that affiliation may be found.

(2)In determining whether affiliation exists, it is necessary to consider all appropriate factors, including common ownership, common management, and contractual relationships. Affiliates must be considered together in determining whether a concern meets small business size criteria and the statutory cap on the participation of firms in the DBE program.

(6)In determining the concern's size, SBA counts the receipts, employees, or other measure of size of the concern whose size is at issue and all of its domestic and foreign affiliates, regardless of whether the affiliates are organized for profit.

(b)Exceptions to affiliation coverage. (1) Business concerns owned in whole or substantial part by investment companies licensed, or development companies qualifying, under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, are not considered affiliates of such investment companies or development companies.

(7)(c) Affiliation based on stock ownership. (1) A person (including any individual, concern or other entity) that owns, or has the power to control, 50 percent or more of a concern's voting stock, or a block of voting stock which is large compared to other outstanding blocks of voting stock, controls or has the power to control the concern.

(7)(4)(e) Affiliation based on common management. Affiliation arises where one or more officers, directors, managing members, or partners who control the board of directors and/or management of one concern also control the board of directors or management of one or more other concerns.

MDOT 4106 (10/12)

Page 6 of 9

(f)Affiliation based on identity of interest. Affiliation may arise among two or more persons with an identity of interest. Individuals or firms that have identical or substantially identical business or economic interests (such as family members, individuals or firms with common investments, or firms that are economically dependent through contractual or other relationships) may be treated as one party with such interests aggregated. Where SBA determines that such interests should be aggregated, an individual or firm may rebut that determination with evidence showing that the interests deemed to be one are in fact separate.

PENALTIES FOR CRIMINAL VIOLATIONS

It is a criminal offense to misrepresent in writing the status of a concern as a small business in order to obtain a prime or subcontract contract awarded pursuant to Section 9 or 15 of the Act (15 U.S.C. § 638 and § 644) and Section 8(a) of the Act ( 15 U.S.C. § 637(a)) or subcontract included as part or all of a goal contained in a subcontracting plan required according to the Section 8(d) of the Act (15 U.S.C. § 637 (d)), or prime or subcontract awarded under Federal Law that references Section 8(d) of the Act (15 U.S.C. § 637 (d)) that defines eligibility for such programs as the Small and Disadvantaged Business contracting program. Under Section 16(d) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 645(d)), the punishment for this offense is imprisonment of not more than 10 years or a fine of not more than $500,000 or both. It can also result in certain administrative penalties, such as suspension or debarment from further contracting with the US Government.

Similar forms

  • Small Business Administration (SBA) Form 1010S: This form is used for small business loan applications. Like the Michigan 4106, it requires detailed financial information to assess eligibility for funding. Both forms focus on the size and financial health of the business, ensuring compliance with federal standards.
  • MDOT DBE Application: This application is specifically for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises seeking certification. Similar to the Michigan 4106, it collects information about ownership, financial status, and business operations. Both forms aim to determine eligibility for participation in state-funded projects.
  • Georgia WC-14 form: This important document is used to notify the Georgia State Board of Workers' Compensation about a claim related to workplace injuries, and you can find more information at Forms Georgia.
  • IRS Form 1040 Schedule C: This form reports income or loss from a business operated as a sole proprietorship. Like the Michigan 4106, it requires financial data over multiple years to establish the business’s size and revenue. Both documents emphasize the importance of accurate financial reporting.
  • State Business License Application: This document is necessary for businesses to operate legally within a state. Similar to the Michigan 4106, it gathers essential information about the business structure, ownership, and financial health. Both forms are crucial for regulatory compliance and eligibility for various programs.

Misconceptions

  • Misconception 1: The Michigan 4106 form is only for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs).
  • This form is specifically designed for non-Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (non-DBEs) to determine eligibility for the MDOT Small Business Program. DBEs are exempt from completing this form, as they undergo a different certification process.

  • Misconception 2: The form needs to be submitted every time a business bids.
  • In reality, the Michigan 4106 form must be submitted once a year, at least 30 days before bidding on projects. This annual submission is crucial for maintaining eligibility.

  • Misconception 3: All businesses qualify for the Small Business Program.
  • Not every business qualifies. To be eligible, a business must meet specific size standards set by the SBA, including gross receipts not exceeding $22.41 million over the past three years.

  • Misconception 4: Only businesses with a physical location in Michigan can apply.
  • While the form is used by businesses bidding on Michigan projects, businesses from outside Michigan can also apply as long as they meet the eligibility requirements.

  • Misconception 5: The form is straightforward and doesn’t require additional documentation.
  • This is misleading. Applicants must provide copies of U.S. business tax forms showing gross receipts and employee counts for the past three years, along with other relevant documentation.

  • Misconception 6: Once certified, a business doesn’t need to update its information.
  • Certification requires annual verification of small business size, which means businesses must keep their information current and submit it yearly.

  • Misconception 7: The MDOT doesn’t consider affiliates or subsidiaries in the application process.
  • In fact, all affiliates and subsidiaries must be disclosed on the form. The SBA has specific criteria for defining what constitutes an affiliate.

  • Misconception 8: The person signing the form can be anyone associated with the business.
  • The individual must be authorized to sign on behalf of the business. Non-employee representatives must provide a letter of authorization to represent the firm.

  • Misconception 9: The information provided is not subject to verification.
  • MDOT may request additional information to verify the details provided on the form. Incomplete information can lead to delays or negative assumptions about a business's size status.

  • Misconception 10: The form is only relevant for specific industries.
  • The Michigan 4106 form applies to a wide range of industries, as long as the business meets the SBA size standards. Applicants must identify their appropriate NAICS codes to determine eligibility.
