WBENC is an annual conference for women-owned businesses that allows business owners nationwide to network and build relationships with other female entrepreneurs. This year, WBENC occurs March 20-23 in Nashville.
Partnering with women-owned businesses provides opportunities for companies to achieve diversity and innovation in this progressive era. Nowadays especially, having a diverse workforce is becoming an industry standard, and corporations owned by women offer unique points of view and different business strategies and diversity. Moreover, With the rise in popularity of ESG reporting, many companies are also seeking out business with women-owned organizations to help achieve social ESG criteria.
Using a minority-owned business as a service supplier creates new opportunities for revenue growth and opens the door to many federal and state tax incentives. Tax breaks are provided to enterprises that use women-owned businesses as suppliers. Additionally, the federal government offers a second tax incentive that may reduce certain liabilities for companies using diverse suppliers who provide services to a state or federal-grant-funded project. Certain states also offer tax incentives to businesses that work with women-owned goods and services suppliers.
A WBENC certification is a great way to promote your business to major corporations looking to do business with women-owned companies and provides companies with access to a variety of other tools and events inaccessible to the general public.
