Last year, more than $110 million in contracts were awarded to New York City-certified Minority and
Women-owned Business Enterprises (M/WBEs). With over 3,200 City contracts won by certified
companies, only one question remains... Why isn’t your company certified?
Thanks to a local law signed by Mayor Bloomberg in 2005, City agencies are now buying more
goods and services from companies who are certified in the City’s M/WBE Program. The program,
run by the New York City Department of Small Business Services (SBS), connects agencies to
companies that are ready to do business with the City. If your company is at least fifty-one percent
owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or a member of an ethnic minority group, has been in
business for at least one year, and is headquartered or has a substantial business presence in the
New York City metro area, you may be eligible to certify as an M/WBE!
