Benefits of Working with a Women-Owned Business

By being certified as a women-owned business, we have access to supplier diversity and procurement executives at hundreds of major corporations and government entities that accept WBENC Certification, which opens up those channels for you. As a result, you have more options that allow you to make the best choices for your company, and you have the opportunity to build strong relationships with diverse suppliers to the benefit of your bottom line. The advantages don’t stop there:

 

  • Partnering with a certified women-owned business like American Crane can be a part of your company’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, offering excellent publicity and helping you attract talented employees who want to work for a company that prioritizes diversity and inclusion. 
  • Diversity breeds innovation, and small businesses especially have to work hard to differentiate themselves in a competitive marketplace. 
  • We have extensive resources and capabilities along with the agility of a small company, which allows us to pivot as needed, adopt new methods and technologies that benefit our customers, and quickly course correct to suit your requirements. 
  • The government has a tax incentive program that rewards companies who do business with women-owned and other minority-owned businesses.

 

The WBE/WOSB certification gives our customers a way to formally acknowledge their partnership with us, demonstrating your commitment to working with a diverse supplier base as well as a leading supplier of high-quality overhead handling solutions.
