Nationally Certified Women’s Business Enterprise
Our national certification comes through the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). WBENC’s national standard of certification, implemented by the Great Lakes Women’s Business Council, is a meticulous process including an in-depth review of the business, and an on-site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman, or women. By including women-owned businesses among their providers, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity. Please keep us in mind for your projects that may benefit from this certification.
