The Kentucky Minority & Women Business Enterprise Certification Program is a statewide initiative of the Kentucky Finance and Administration Cabinet that supports the growth of businesses owned by women and minorities, including Black women business owners. Certification may help eligible businesses improve competitiveness, expand market access, and connect with public and private contracting opportunities. Certified businesses can also be included in Kentucky’s SMALL BUSINESS CONNECTion database, which helps agencies, contractors, and organizations identify minority- and women-owned businesses for procurement and supplier diversity opportunities. Business owners can apply online through the Kentucky MWBE application portal and contact program staff for help with the application process.
