What Is MBE Certification?

MBE Certification is the process by which a business is verified as being minority owned according to the criteria set forth by the National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC). The NMSDC’s criteria state that in order to be certified as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), a business must be at least 51% controlled and managed by racial or ethnic minorities who are also U.S. Citizens. The Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council is solely responsible for certifying all minority business enterprises across the state of Michigan. Learn more about MMSDC and MBE Certification
