Why You Should Partner with an MBE

Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (MBEs) are businesses that are at least 51% owned and controlled by one or more minority group members. The purpose of the MBE program is to promote and encourage participation of minority business enterprises in the economy and afford opportunities to compete for contracts on an equal footing with other businesses. There are numerous advantages to becoming a minority-owned business, but what are the benefits of partnering with one?

Increased Contracting Opportunities
Partnering with an MBE allows you to tap into a large number of public and private sector programs. This increased access to government contracting opportunities will allow your organization to grow rapidly.

Tax Benefits
Working with a certified-MBE partner will also give your business access to many tax benefits. There are numerous federal and state tax incentives, tax breaks and potential rebates to those who conduct business with MBEs.

More Opportunity
An MBE-certified partner can help grow your client base to a larger demographic. Through the MBE certification, there are many events where MBE businesses educate and connect on business insights. By working with an MBE, you can tap into those connections and create long term partners.

Innovation and Creativity
Minority-owned businesses bring out fresh perspectives and new ideas that help companies stand out from their competition. Having multiple perspectives leads to more innovation and creativity which can help promote your business.
