Your certification roadmap.
Before you register, WBENC requires:
- Your business is already formed and operating as a for-profit business — certification is for a business that exists, not an idea
- At least 51% of the business is owned by one or more women
- A woman owner runs the day to day — and you’ll be asked to prove it in a face-to-face interview, not just on paper
- You are a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident
- You can produce the paperwork: formation documents, ownership records, tax returns, financial statements, and proof of citizenship
In North Texas, WBENC certification runs through the Women’s Business Council – Southwest (WBCS). MBE and DBE are separate programs with their own requirements. Check the current rules before you apply: WBENC (national) · Women’s Business Council – Southwest
