Woman-Owned Business Certification Program
Get Certified!
DOA Wisconsin Supplier Diversity Program - Business Certifications
Certification is a way to promote your company to corporations and government agencies that are actively seeking to conduct business with women-owned businesses.
Certification validates that the business is 51 percent owned, controlled, operated, and managed by a woman or women. Women owned businesses complete a formal documentation and site visit process which is administered by the DOA Supplier Diversity Program (linked above), giving women-owned businesses the ability to compete for business opportunities with corporations and government agencies.
Firms certified through the Wisconsin Supplier Diversity program can receive technical and marketing assistance, including participation in Marketplace, a statewide business marketing conference. Certified firms are also eligible to be listed in the State of Wisconsin's Directory of Minority, Woman, and Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses which is circulated to corporate buyers throughout the state purchasing agents (linked above).
