WBE Certification

Women’s Business Enterprise​

A Women’s Business Enterprise certification, or WBE business certification, defines your business as being owned, operated, and controlled by a women. Certification is a valuable marketing tool for your small business and can give you special consideration when bidding on contracts with the local government.

  • Women Grants
  • Grow your business through new opportunities with your state government agencies
  • Get you connected with your state’s supplier database
  • Give you an advantage in the bidding process for lucrative contracts
  • Set your business apart from the rest of your competitors by being 3rd party certified

When you engage the services of Spearhead Certifications we can walk you through the process of your WBE certification application and ensure that you understand the benefits of the WBE certification process. With certification, you can be awarded small business grants for women and expand the reach of your brand while gaining access to lucrative contracts, and we are happy to help you through every step as you apply for WBE certification.

How Do I Qualify to Be a WBE?

In order for a business to have a chance of your WBE certification application being accepted, the company must be owned by a women, or women must own at least 51% of the company. During the WBE certification process, there will be checks to ensure that the women or women who have a majority share of the company are actually active parts of the business’ operations in some way.

What Documents Do I Need?

Here are the steps associated with obtaining the WBE Certification. We will help you through the process every step of the way.

  • A Signed Affidavit. If you are lying about your company being run by a majority of women, you can be held accountable for lying.
  • Proof of Gender. This can come in the form of a birth certificate, a passport, or a license.
  • Financial Statements. You have to show statements that look into the financial history of the company as well as your tax returns from the last three years. Personal tax returns have to be available for anyone who owns more than 10% of the company.
  • List of Personnel. You will have to include a list of all of your personnel as well as a copy of your most recent monthly payroll.

There are more specific documents and other details to the WBE certification application, and we would be more than happy to help walk you through all of the requirements.
