Program Highlights

Black Business Certification

95% of Fortune 500 companies have some form of supplier diversity program. Yet less than 1% of supplier diversity programs include Black-owned businesses. Our Black Business Certification program bridges that gap by connecting corporate and public procurement with Black entrepreneurs and businesses.

As a quality third-party certifier of businesses owned, managed, and controlled by Black enterprises, we connect Black businesses to corporate supply chains—helping build relationships, transfer knowledge and drive economic growth for your business.

Who is Eligible?

You are eligible for the Black Business Certification Program if you are:

a Canadian business with B2B services or willing to expand to B2B clients
minimum 51% owned, managed and controlled by those who identify as Black
a provider of products and services needed by corporate and government supply chains, including consulting services.

What are the benefits to you?

Receive a certified stamp of approval that is valid for local, national and global supplier diversity programs
Gain a market advantage through new opportunities to market your products and services to large corporations and governments
Exhibit brand recognition and validity through the ability to use your Certified BBCC badge, brand and logo on your website, product packaging or marketing collateral
Acquire insider information about corporate and government supplier diversity programs, procurement processes and requirements, and more.
Attain access to tools and mentorship programs that grow your business and ensure ongoing BBCC supplier development
Get coaching and mentorship, preparation and training on how to pitch successfully for corporate contracts

And more…

Why choose our Black Business Certification?

Our Black Business Certification is a first of its kind in Canada, follows global supplier diversity standards, and is built on the women’s Business Enterprise Canada (WBE) model – which is recognized by many of the biggest businesses nationally and internationally, including IBM, General Motors, Toyota, Accenture, BMO, TD Bank, RBC, TELUS, Roges, Bells and others.

Beyond corporations, BEBC’s Black Business Certification also opens doors to government organizations: federal (like BDC, Procurement Canada), provincial, municipal and more.

By choosing our Black Business Certification, your Black-owned businesses will receive more access to corporate and public procurement processes, gaining a stamp of approval valid for local, national and global supplier diversity programs.
