WBE Certification
Certifying women-owned businesses is part of what we do best, along with programs and connecting WBENC-Certified Women’s Business Enterprises (WBEs) with Corporate Members to facilitate real-time business opportunities. Specifically through collaborative programming and one of Houston’s SBA Resource Centers, WBEA serves as a resource to offer training that helps Corporate Members and small businesses grow their capacity.
WBENC’s world-class certification is accepted by more than 1,000 corporations, including some of America’s most prestigious brands and many states, cities, and other entities.
As a Regional Partner Organization (RPO) for WBENC, WBEA is an approved Third-Party Certifier for the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contracting Program.
WBENC Certification validates that the business is 51 percent owned, controlled, operated, and managed by a woman or woman. Specifically, to achieve WBENC Certification, women-owned businesses complete a formal documentation and site visit process administered by WBEA. WBENC Certification gives women-owned businesses a distinct edge in competitive situations.
