When You’reGood & ReadyNMSDC Certification Can Take Your Business To Another Level

2

Once certified and part of the NMSDC network, over two-thirds of minority business enterprises (MBEs) confirm business increase due to their partnerships with the Council’s corporate members.

CORPORATEPURCHASES

The largest U.S. corpora-tions purchase more than $100 billion in products, services and solutions supplied by MBEs. Now that sounds pretty good, but we’re ready for a lot more. Given the fact that minorities represent 35% of the population but MBEs represent 21% of all businesses and 3.5% of gross receipts, much more must be done.

PROFIT THROUGH PARTNERSHIP

The National Minority Supplier Development Council is a nonprofit organization that links over 12,000 MBEs with more than 1,750 corpo-rate members, including America’s top publicly-owned, privately-owned and foreign-owned corporations, as well as universities, hospitals and other large purchasing organizations.

We provide certified MBEs the access, techni-cal assistance, training and support they need to expand and market their services to prospective corporate buyers.

NMSDCCERTIFICATION

The NMSDC affiliate council nearest a com-pany’s headquarters con-ducts the annual certifica-tion process to assure that the business is at least 51 percent owned, operated and controlled by minori-ties: Asian, Black, Hispanic and Native American. Our standardized procedures assure consistent, identical review for the certification of each MBE. Wherever your business interests, NMSDC certification guarantees national rec-ognition. Certified MBEs are listed in the NMSDC national database, which is accessible to corporate members 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
