What is the Minority- and Woman-Owned BusinessEnterprise Certification Program?
The County’s Minority- and Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) Certification Program is an incentive program to ensure minority and woman-owned firms have an equal opportunity to participate in Broward County business opportunities. The certification process makes certain that the incentive programs are limited to businesses legitimately owned and controlled by local minorities or women. The M/WBE Certification Program was reinforced in 2004 in response to a disparity study that showed minority and woman-owned firms in Broward County were not receiving a proportionate share of County business.
