If your company wants to connect with private-sector buyers, Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) certification can be a valuable asset. EPHCC can help you understand the process, prepare your documentation, and get ready to apply through an authorized certifying organization. Once certified, your business may be better positioned to pursue opportunities with corporations such as IBM, Microsoft, Walmart, CVS Health, and Marriott International.
If your company wants to pursue state and transportation contracting opportunities, business certification programs can be valuable assets. EPHCC can help you explore programs that may fit your business, understand eligibility requirements, prepare your information, and become better equipped to navigate the application and procurement process.
Depending on your qualifications and the opportunities you want to pursue, this may include Texas VetHUB, Small Business Enterprise programs, or the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program for federally funded transportation projects. While certification does not guarantee a contract, EPHCC can provide guidance, training, and resources to help position your business to compete for opportunities with government agencies, transportation entities, and prime contractors.
If your company wants to pursue opportunities as a supplier to the federal government, small-business certification programs can be valuable assets. The U.S. Small Business Administration offers programs such as Women-Owned Small Business, Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business, HUBZone, 8(a) Business Development, and Veteran Small Business Certification. These programs may help eligible businesses compete for federal contracts, including opportunities reserved for certified small businesses.
EPHCC can help you understand which programs may fit your business, review eligibility requirements, prepare the necessary documentation, and navigate the certification process. EPHCC is also an SBA-approved third-party certifier for the Women-Owned Small Business and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business programs.
Beyond certification assistance, our team provides business information, individual guidance, training, and support designed to strengthen your business-management and contracting skills. Services are available to entrepreneurs and business owners regardless of gender, race, or EPHCC membership status.
If you have any questions the GSCC team can help.
