How Much does WBENC Certification Cost?
A Quick Guide to Our Equitable Certification Fee
WBEC Pacific is one of fourteen Regional Partner Organizations (RPOs) that administers WBENC Certification nationwide. WBENC Certification validates that a business is at least 51 percent owned, controlled, operated, and managed by a woman or group of women. This world-class certification is accepted by America’s most prestigious brands, in addition to many states, counties, cities, and other public entities.
WBENC Certification requires a non-refundable processing fee for new applications and recertification, done annually. This fee is based on annual gross revenue as reported on federal taxes, and is divided into five equitable tiers, ranging from $350 / year for under $1 million in annual gross revenue, to $1,250 / year for more than $50 million in annual gross revenue. You can identify your business category using the chart on this page.
