What Is Minority Women Certification?
Minority Women Certification often referred to as MWBE (Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise) or WOSB (Women-Owned Small Business) certification is an official designation that verifies your business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman from a recognized minority group. It’s offered by federal, state, and local agencies, as well as third-party organizations like WBENC (Women’s Business Enterprise National Council).
