PROGRAM
The RenCenter Business Certification program has three aspects:
Certification
Capacity Building
Contracts
We want you to be successful in all three.
1.
GET CERTIFIED
What does it take to get certified?
It depends on the certification, but for all:
You must be a US Citizen or Permanent Resident
You must be the majority owner (51%) and have the characteristics necessary to fulfill the certification requirements (i.e. woman-owned, minority-owned, Section 3)
You must be willing to collect and submit documentation to the certification agency
Although Renaissance cannot help with your legal status, we provide guidance on organizing your business and submitting documentation.
We are also ready to help you build your capacity as a business to scale and take on bigger and better contracts.
2.
BUILD CAPACITY
Most businesses are not 100% ready to start applying for contracts tomorrow. There are processes to understand and structures your business needs to have in place to be successful at wholesale.
The Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center has created a program to support small businesses from San Mateo County to be ready for success in whoelsale.
Imagine what you can do for your business in just 24 hours! Getting certified doesn’t guarantee contracts initially, but having the skills to put together good bids and get in front of the right people will lead to success.
3.
GET CONTRACTS
Becoming part of the RenCenter Business Certification program is joining an elite group of businesses who can be recommended to buyers. We are working closely with the county to build a database of MBE/WBE certified businesses for county agencies, cities, school districts and corporations to use as a resource.
As part of our workshops, you’ll learn how to prepare your business to land a wholesale deal.
And as a client of Renaissance, you will always be in the network. As a client, you are able to access ongoing technical assistance on:
Sourcing and FInding Buyers
Securing financing to fulfill a new contracting opportunity.
Getting advice on how to optimize packaging and distribution.
