One strategy for business growth is to expand and diversify your client base. Women (as well as minorities and veterans) who become certified diverse enterprises can leverage this designation to win business with local, state and federal government entities. Many large companies also require (or prefer) their diverse suppliers to become certified as part of a commitment to expand and diversify their pool of qualified vendors.
If your company is privately held and at least 51% owned by a woman or women who are U.S. citizens or legal residents, you can apply for Women Business Enterprise certification.
