When you work with an MBE certified printer, you can be confident that you’re not just investing in your printing and marketing, you’re also actively benefiting your community.
Maryland’s Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) program represents a nationally recognized standard for minority inclusion in procurement and contracting. MBE certified businesses are included in several state procurement and recruiting programs to set a standard of integration across socially- and economically disadvantaged businesses. This not only strengthens disadvantaged companies in Maryland, but it also strengthens small local businesses and the communities where they reside. MBE certified businesses stand apart from competitors and bring valuable diversity to the private sector. If you’re looking to partner with a printer, there are plenty of reasons to choose an MBE certified marketing and design professional. Here are some of the basics when it comes to working with an MBE accredited business.
Benefits of MBE Certification
MBE certification can be a valuable tool for minority- and women-owned businesses looking to set themselves apart from the crowd and add worthwhile economic activity to their communities. When you work with an MBE certified printer, you can be confident that you’re not just investing in your printing and marketing, you’re also actively benefiting your community. After all, MBE certification doesn’t just help small businesses participate in state programs and contracts; it also allows contractors in the private sector add valuable supplier diversity and participate in a supportive network of small, local businesses.
Finding MBE Certified Businesses
The OMBE (or Office of Minority Business Enterprise) hosts an online directory of participating minority- and women-owned businesses. This directory lists participating companies along with the specific kinds of work they are certified to do and any relevant contact information. This allows private sector contractors, as well as government officials, to find and contact MBE certified businesses to network, contract, and create partnerships. This directory is essential because supporting minority- and women-owned businesses go further than providing arrangements: directories for networking allows these businesses to grow and thrive on meeting their communities’ needs.
Partnering with an MBE Certified Printer
When you choose to partner with an MBE certified printer, you can be confident that your design and marketing will be handled by another local business with your best interests in mind. MBE certified printers are a part of your community so that they can help you better reach potential customers and even be valuable networking partners. As a small business owner, you know how important it is to contribute to your community, so be sure to partner with marketing professionals who know it, too.
