WBE Certified, BBB Accredited & Procurement-Ready

What It Is

WBENC certification is the most widely recognized and rigorous Women's Business Enterprise certification in the United States. Issued by the Women's Business Enterprise National Council, WBENC certification requires a comprehensive review of business ownership, control, and management to confirm that the business is at least 51% owned, controlled, and operated by one or more women. The review includes documentation review, site visits, and periodic recertification — making WBENC the gold standard for WBE verification accepted by Fortune 500 companies, federal agencies, and state and local governments.

What It Means for Your Procurement

WBENC certification is accepted by more than 10,000 corporations and government entities as proof of women's business enterprise status for supplier diversity programs. For Fortune 500 companies with supplier diversity spending requirements and government agencies with WBE procurement set-asides, Nationwide Maintenance's WBENC certification satisfies vendor qualification requirements directly — no additional verification needed.

What It Is

The SBA Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contract Program is administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration and enables federal agencies to set aside contracts specifically for women-owned small businesses. To qualify, a business must be at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more women who are U.S. citizens, and must meet the SBA's small business size standards for the relevant industry. Nationwide Maintenance meets all SBA WOSB requirements — enabling participation in federal contracting set-asides across the facility maintenance and general contracting categories.

What It Means for Your Procurement

For federal government agencies and state agencies using federal procurement standards, SBA WOSB certification qualifies Nationwide Maintenance for women-owned small business set-aside contracts and procurement preferences. Combined with our WBENC certification, Nationwide Maintenance satisfies WBE vendor requirements across both the corporate and government procurement ecosystems.

What It Is

BBB Accreditation is awarded by the Better Business Bureau to businesses that meet the BBB's standards for trust — including commitment to make a good faith effort to resolve any consumer complaints, transparency, honesty in advertising, and maintenance of a positive complaint resolution record. BBB accreditation is not automatic — it requires application, review, and ongoing compliance with BBB standards.

What It Means for Your Procurement

BBB accreditation provides an independent third-party validation of Nationwide Maintenance's business practices, complaint history, and commitment to customer resolution. For procurement teams conducting vendor due diligence, BBB accreditation is a recognized trust indicator that complements our certification credentials and client reference documentation.
