WBENC: Why and How You Should Certify Your Business As Women-Owned
[Recommended for businesses with $50k+ in revenues looking to grow]
The Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) certification offered through the Center for Women & Enterprise is the nation’s leading independent certification of women-owned businesses. Over 12,000 businesses are certified nationwide, and over 600 corporate supplier diversity and procurement professionals recognize the WBENC certification.
Certification enables you to grow your business through contracts with large companies, colleges & universities, and some government entities; it also provides an opportunity to partner and/or conduct business with other certified women-owned businesses.
If your business is at least 51% owned, and 100% operated, managed, and controlled by a woman or women, you may qualify for this national certification.
