What Does it Mean to be Certified Women Owned?

Getting Certified means Getting Visible so that buyers, wholesalers and consumers can easily identify brands that are diverse women suppliers. Many corporations rely on a variety of local and national certifying agencies to help them find diverse-owned businesses.
A seal of certification is a formal guarantee to corporations that they are purchasing goods and/or services from a particular group of business owners.
Certification is key. Many firms will not begin the relationship building process if you do not have current certification.
Companies will search supplier diversity databases when searching for diverse suppliers.*
Suppliers may submit products or services for consideration through company supplier diversity departments and/or online through a dedicated supplier diversity portal.
