CASE STUDY
Advancing Economic Equity Through MBE/WBE Certification Support

Client 

Community-Based Nonprofit Focused on Workforce & Small Business Development

Challenge

Many minority and women entrepreneurs in construction and operational industries lacked access to contracting opportunities due to the absence of proper business certifications (MBE, WBE, DBE). These small business owners needed support navigating complex certification processes that were critical for growth and sustainability.

SOLUTION

LG Consultants partnered with the nonprofit to launch a targeted initiative to educate and assist local entrepreneurs through the full MBE/WBE certification process. This included:

  • Hosting a 2-week cohort-style training on eligibility, documentation, and strategic positioning.
  • One-on-one consulting for application preparation.
  • Guidance on how to leverage certifications to win public and private contracts.

RESULTS

  • Multiple businesses successfully obtained MBE or WBE certification.
  • Construction-focused entrepreneurs were able to bid on city and county-level contracts within 6 months.
  • Entrepreneurs reported increased confidence in business planning, compliance, and long-term growth strategies.
