Indigenous-owned businesses
Get found for the work you can do. Prime contractors and government buyers are looking for verified Indigenous businesses and usually can't find them. IndigiMatch changes that.
A directory entry says a name and a category. It doesn't say what you build, what you've delivered, what you're certified to do, or where you can work. IndigiMatch does. When your business is verified and your capabilities are recorded, you appear in matches for real contracts, and buyers see the evidence beside your name.
There is no cost to Indigenous vendors to be verified and listed. Your information is used only to verify ownership and record capability; it is not sold, and it is not shared beyond the engagements you're matched to.
Start your profile online, or download the IndigiMatch Vendor Intake Form, complete it in Excel, and email it back with your supporting documents. The workbook is the full form; the online version covers the required fields and is enough to begin verification.

The questions come up in the same order every time: verified ownership and control, what you actually deliver and how much of it in-house, a documented quality and safety system, Controlled Goods registration and security screening where the work needs them, where you can work, your government contracting history and the amounts involved, supplier registrations, and the capacity to scale. The intake form walks through all of them, so your profile answers the questions before they're asked.
Attach what you have to your submission email: business registration, shareholder register or ownership agreement, your Indigenous Business Directory listing or certification, quality certificates, workers' compensation clearance, and a capability statement if you have one. Anything missing can be marked "available on request". Proof of Indigenous identity for owners is not requested here; if verification requires it, IndigiMatch will contact you and handle it separately.
Indigenous-owned businesses across the goods and services that defence, infrastructure, energy, mining, and government programs buy: construction and specialty trades, transmission and utilities, engineering and design, environmental services, mining support, manufacturing and fabrication, machining, aerospace and defence components and maintenance, equipment repair, facilities management, camp and catering services, security, transportation and logistics, heavy equipment, supply and distribution, IT and cybersecurity, technical publications and translation, consulting, training and workforce services, community engagement, and health, safety and emergency services. If you're in a category where the Indigenous supply base is thin, we especially want to hear from you: that gap is a finding in someone's plan right now.
Write to welcome@indigimatch.ai. Verification usually starts with a short call to confirm ownership records and capabilities.
