Breaking Barriers in the Painting Industry
The painting industry has traditionally been dominated by men. But at CertaPro Painters® of Ann Arbor, we believe that being woman-owned allows us to bring a unique perspective to the table. We offer a level of service and attention to detail that often exceeds expectations.
Meeting the High Standards of WBENC Certification
Becoming WBENC certified is no easy feat! The Great Lakes Women’s Business Council conducts a thorough review process, including a site inspection, to ensure the business is truly woman-owned and operated. This rigorous process guarantees that certified businesses are at least 51% owned, operated, and controlled by women, with a strong business structure and strategic plan in place.
Why Supporting Women-Owned Businesses Matters
When corporations and government agencies choose to work with women-owned businesses, they champion diversity and strengthen their supplier diversity programs. This creates a ripple effect, empowering women leaders and fostering a more balanced and sustainable economy for everyone.
The Power of WBENC Certification
WBENC Certification opens doors to incredible opportunities. It provides access to a supportive network, professional development resources, and connections with major corporations. This helps women-owned businesses like ours grow, innovate, and thrive.
