WBE certifications certify that your company is indeed majority owned by a woman.  But why would you want to obtain one?  Well, government agencies and large corporations who receive government money are REQUIRED to award a certain percentage of their contracts/projects to woman-owned businesses.  So by obtaining a WBE certification, you greatly increase your chances of getting these deep pockets as clients.
