Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) Certification
The Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) Certification formally recognizes businesses that are at least 51% owned, controlled, and operated by women. It’s your key to unlocking supplier diversity contracts, increasing market visibility, and standing out in competitive procurement spaces.
At Landmark Federal Solutions, we take the guesswork out of the process—helping you navigate every step with confidence, from documentation to final approval.
Why WBE Certification Matters
As public and private institutions double down on diversity, equity, and inclusion, WBE certification is your bridge to high-impact contracting opportunities.
