We are pleased to announce that the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) granted Woman-Owned Small Business certification (WOSB) to CounterTrade Products, Inc., a Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) since 1985.  

WBENC is the nation’s largest third party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women in the US.  WBENC is also an approved Third Party Certifier for the United States Small Business Administration (SBA) Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contracting Program.  WBENC’s national standard of certification is a meticulous process including an in-depth review of the business and site inspection. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a woman or women. By including women-owned businesses among their suppliers, corporations and government agencies demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier diversity programs. 

“I couldn’t happier to receive this certification,” said Sharon Norwell, CEO at CounterTrade Products. “Being a WOSB has many advantages. This will allow us access to supplier diversity and procurement executives at hundreds of major U.S. corporations and federal, state, and local government entities that accept WBENC Certification.  Additionally it gives us access to a community of like-minded professionals dedicated to the growth of Women-Owned business.”
