MWBE Eligibility Requirements
Before applying for the NYS Minority-Owned or Women-Owned Business Enterprise Certification, your firm should check see if they meet Empire State Development’s application eligibility requirements. Please use the form below to evaluate your status.
If you meet the requirements above, it’s recommended that you contact the SUNY Buffalo SBDC for further assistance. If your firm does not meet ONE or TWO of eligibility requirements it is highly encouraged that you speak with our MWBE Business Advisor.
