SoBRO: South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation

Minority and Women-Owned
Business Enterprise (MWBE)

Certification Assistance Workshop

The Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise Program works to ensure the greater participation of minority and women-owned businesses in the New York City procurement process. Firms that have been in business for over one
year and are at least 51% owned by a minority or a woman are eligible for this certification.

All certified firms are listed in the New York City Department of Small Business Services’ official Directory of Certified Businesses which can be accessed on-line at
www.nyc.gov/buycertified and is currently available to purchasing officers and contracting agencies. This means that your business will be listed online for all
Internet users to view!

Come to our free workshops and receive assistance in completing the M/WBE Certification application. We, at SoBRO, cannot stress the importance of having such a valuable certification so please don’t put off starting the application process any longer. This certification program has become an essential instrument in
helping minority and women business owners gain access to New York City’s economic mainstream.
