English term

Small-Disadvantaged Businesses

English to German Bus/Financial Business/Commerce (general)
Business, labour market, contracting.

"Small and small-disadvantaged business often benefit from Job Order Contracting, as it provides them greater opportunities than traditional procurement methods."

I know that in German sometimes English acronyms (e.g., SMEs = Small and Medium-Sized enterprises) are adopted. But any ideas what this is called in German?
