WBENC (Women’s Business Enterprise National Council)

The Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) is the nation’s leading authority on third-party certification of women-owned businesses, providing a standard for verifying that businesses are 51% owned, operated, and controlled by women. By achieving WBENC certification, women entrepreneurs demonstrate to corporate America that their companies are duly qualified as legitimate business partners in the supply chain. Through rigorous review and an extensive audit process, WBENC affirms and validates the position of women-owned businesses as frontrunners in economic inclusion and equal opportunity in procurement.
