Opportunity to Get Certified as a MWBE (aka Minority/Women-Owned Business Enterprise)
\ESD is celebrating Women’s History Month with the Women Entrepreneurs Rising with all MWBEs across the great State of New York.
Starting on 3/3/25 through 4/18/25, any firm interested in the New York State MWBE Program can work with a free business advisory service center to prepare their application. Completed applications submitted to ESD for certification may receive their answers in as little as 90 days.
Benefits of MWBE Certification:
Increased Contracting Opportunities: Certified MWBEs are more likely to be considered for government contracts, and some contracts are reserved explicitly for MWBEs.
Access to Resources: Certification can provide access to networking events, training programs, and other resources to help businesses grow.
Enhanced Visibility: Certified businesses are often listed in directories or online platforms, making them more visible to potential customers and partners.
Please help us spread the word about the initiative with your members and network of small businesses and MWBEs in your areas.
If you have additional questions, please contact our Customer Care Team who are available Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 5:00 PM, except for holidays.
