Corporations, buyers, and consumers want to support women-owned businesses. Make it easy for them to recognize yours.

One of the many benefits of certification through Women's Business Enterprise National Council - WBENC - WBENC is the ability to use the official Women Owned logo and WBE seal as marketing tools.

These visuals help your business:
• Instantly signal that you are women owned
• Increase visibility in supplier networks
• Influence purchasing decisions from customers who want to support women-owned companies—BONUS you get listed on the buywomenowned.com website

You don’t have to figure out certification alone.

If you’re ready to explore WBENC certification and the benefits that come with it, CWE helps make the path clearer — right here in your community.
