What the certification means

An M/WBE certification means the business met the City’s criteria for a minority- and women-owned firm. For city buyers, that status matters on solicitations that set M/WBE participation goals, including work found through PASSPort. For private owners, architects, and contractors, it is a straightforward way to confirm who they are hiring for permit expediting and Department of Buildings filings in New York City.
