“The WBE / MBE / HUB certifications provide third-party verification of woman-owned and minority-owned status,” says Flor Dimassi, CEO (http://www.linkedin.com/in/flordimassi/). The WBE / MBE / HUB certifications are valuable tools in accessing supplier diversity programs within corporations and governmental procurement programs. Many corporations and governmental entities have supplier diversity initiatives requiring that a certain percentage of their procurement dollars be spent with WBE’s, MBE’s and HUB’s.

The WBE / MBE / HUB certification process is comprehensive and extends beyond verification of legal ownership by women and minorities. Business owners must provide conclusive documentation that at least 51% of the company is women-owned, minority-owned, controlled, and operated.  In addition, women and minority business owners must have the ability to perform in the company’s area of specialty without reliance on resources of non-women owned entities.
