About WBENC
Expanding opportunities for women and small business entrepreneurs.
The Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) is a leading national non-profit organization dedicated to helping women-owned and small and medium businesses thrive.
We believe business development promotes innovation, opens doors, and creates partnerships that fuel the economy. That’s why we not only provide the most relied upon certification standard for women-owned businesses, but we also offer the tools to help them succeed.
Invest in Women. Buy Women Owned.
Women Owned is an initiative from the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) and WEConnect International to create a movement of support for Women Owned and small businesses. We support entrepreneurs and those who do business with them by raising awareness for why, where and how to buy Women Owned.
Any storefronts, websites and product labels bearing the Women Owned Logo have been certified as at least 51 percent owned, operated and controlled by a woman or women by WBENC in the United States and WEConnect International globally.
