Women’s Business Development Council of Florida (WBDC)

WBDC (also known as WBEC) Florida certifies, champions and connects women-owned businesses.

About

As a certified women-owned business (WBE), you get access to a current list of supplier diversity and procurement executives at hundreds of major U.S. corporations and federal, state and local government entities that accept WBENC certification. WBENC is also a third-party certifier for the U.S. Small Business Administration’s Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) program.

WBEC Florida assists you through the certification process and then offers you training, connections and support to help you use your certification to pursue major contracts.
