A woman owned business enterprise (WBE) is an American term that is defined as a business that is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled on a daily basis by one or more (in combination) female American citizens.
WBEs can be self-identified but are typically certified by a city, state or federal agency.[1]
There are several organizations that provide women-owned certifications nationally including: U.S. Women's Chamber of Commerce[2], Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC)[3] and National Women Business Owners Corporation <ref> National Women Business Owner Corporation.
