It takes some effort to become a certified Women’s
Business Enterprise, but we think you'll agree it's worth
your time and WBEC-West is here to guide you through
the process.

The first step is to determine if you are eligible.
Eligibility requirements are determined by  WBENC an
organization whose certification is recognized by more
than 750 corporations and government entities. For
more information about eligibility and the WBENC,
click Standards & Procedures above.

When you have determined that you are eligible, follow
these steps to become certified:

1. Complete the online application (instructions and a
    link to the application are found in the Application
    section).
2. Print a copy of your completed application.
3. Assemble all requested documents.
4. Provide a notarized sworn affidavit.
5. Pay a non refundable processing fee. This fee is
    based on your company’s gross revenue from your
    most recent 12-month tax return.

Our committee reviews your application and attached
documents, and then we conduct an onsite visit. If you
are awarded certification you become a part of the WBE
community with all its benefits and resources. Please
read the requirements and instructions carefully. Take
your time and remember to use the links to find more
information or visit the WBENC Web site
www.wbenc.org for clarification.

The entire process is completed within 90 days of the
date we receive ALL required documentation. For your
peace of mind, all committee members are required to
sign strict confidentiality agreements and your file is
kept under lock and key.
