Empowering Women Entrepreneurs: FUEL Earns Certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise

FUEL, a brand building agency based in Greenville, SC, has recently been certified as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Greater Women’s Business Council (GWBC), a regional partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). This certification is considered the gold standard for women-owned businesses in the United States.

As CEO of MCC Enterprises LLC, which operates as FUEL, Mary Church Cornette emphasized the importance of supporting women entrepreneurs and amplifying their voices. By obtaining this certification, FUEL can now connect with a network of corporations and fellow women-owned businesses. This platform will also serve as inspiration for other women-owned businesses to succeed and contribute to the business landscape.

The certification process conducted by GWBC is thorough and includes a detailed review of the business as well as a site inspection. It ensures that the business is majority-owned, operated, and controlled by women and that it has a solid structure and strategic business planning in place.

Working with women-owned businesses provides corporations and government agencies with an opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to diversity and the growth of their supplier diversity programs. This support empowers women as leaders and contributes to a more diverse and sustainable economy.

In addition to certification, FUEL also has access to professional development opportunities through WBENC network events programming, which provide exceptional year-round opportunities for growth and expansion. These events include workshops on marketing strategies, leadership development training, networking sessions with major corporations, among others. Additionally FUEL can benefit from connections with other successful women-owned businesses in order to expand its reach further into new markets or industries.
