5 Reasons You Should Partner with a Certified Women-Owned Business

To Be Woman-Owned Certified means we have earned national certification by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).

When a company partners with a WBENC-Certified Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE), they gain many benefits, such as:

1. Providing Tax Incentives

Working with a WBENC-certified WBE can provide your company many tax benefits. The federal government affords tax incentives to those who conduct business with minority and women-owned businesses. Additionally, tax liabilities are reduced for projects funded with federal or state grants or loan when the supplier is a women-owned business. In some states, tax incentives may be available.

2. Opening New Sources of Revenue Opportunities

Research conducted by the Hackett Group shows that working with a WBENC-certified business, can increase profitability with as much as 130% return on investment, providing distinct competitive advantages. Additionally, the research concluded that procurement organizations who work with a diverse supplier base also had lower overall operating costs and spent 20% less on their buying operations.

3. Diversifies Your Suppliers to Provide Multiple Procurement Channels for Goods and Services

When partnering with a WBENC-certified business, you gain access to multiple channels for goods and services which allows you to analyze various factors and choose what options are the best fit for your company’s needs. Increasing your partnerships with WBENC-certified businesses gives you the added benefit of building relationships with suppliers’ alliances.
