B2 Communications has achieved national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Women's Business Enterprise Council Florida, a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).
WBENC Certification is the gold standard for women-owned business certification in the United States. Founded in 1997, WBENC has more than 18,000 certified Women’s Business Enterprises, 14 national Regional Partner Organizations, and more than 500 Corporate Members, most of which are Fortune 500. Now, B2 Communications is part of this prestigious group.
Thousands of corporations representing America’s most prestigious brands, as well as many states, cities, and other entities, look for and accept WBENC Certification. By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier diversity programs.
In turn, this commitment empowers women as leaders and brings about a more diverse, balanced and sustainable economy.
Rigorous certification process
The WBENC standard of certification implemented by the Women's Business Enterprise Council Florida is a meticulous process, including an in-depth review of the business and a site inspection.
The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by a woman or women, and that the business has appropriate structure and strategic business planning and implementation in place. When Missy Hurley became sole agency owner in late 2023, the certification became possible for B2 Communications.
Benefits of WBENC certification
WBENC Certification combined with professional development and engagement in the WBENC network provides unsurpassed opportunities year-round. With these opportunities, B2 Communications and other certified women-owned businesses can grow and expand their business and innovation through events, programming and connections with major corporations and other WBEs.
Through the Women Owned initiative, WBENC also is a leader in supporting consumer-oriented female entrepreneurs and those who do business with them by raising awareness for why, where and how to buy Women Owned.
