Opportunities for Small Women Owned Businesses!

There ARE Opportunities for Small Women Owned Businesses!

Business is tough, small business is tougher but, there really are opportunities out there!  CNA Specialties, a certified Women Owned Business, is proud to announce that it was just awarded a money grant from SCWBEC (www.SCWBEC.org), the Suffolk County Women’s Business Enterprise Coalition.  This money can be used for equipment, networking, marketing and any other needs of a business that is crucial to its growth and CNA will do just that.

There is a lesson here for ALL small businesses though – yes you wear many hats, but you need to add one more – financial opportunities can be anywhere, but you need to look for them.  New York State Governor Cuomo is a strong proponent of Minority and Women Owned Businesses so many projects have stated goals for M/WBE’s.  There are so many resources, especially in New York State – PTAC, SBDC, SBA, LIA SB, ESD, MTA, NYC, and many more  – and all are willing to help small businesses get registered, certified, marketed and maybe even grant money.  It all helps!

Thank you once again to SCWBEC for awarding grant money to CNA Specialties – it will be put to good use and we look forward to climbing up another rung of the ladder on the way to success!

The Impact of Local Law 1 of 2013 and Resolution #1739-2013 on M/WBE Firms is Tremendous!

Governor Cuomo is a solid supporter of Women and Minority Owned Businesses – M/WBE’s.  There is one particular Law and one Resolution that is especially impactful in New York City.  These mandates benefit both the end user and the individual New York City/State Certified M/WBE firm.

Local Law 1 of 2013 dictates a goal of 20% for M/WBE businesses in New York State for those projects that are publicly funded.  The goal stands for any publicly funded New York State facility or institution including state colleges, public libraries, fire and police departments, or state government buildings.

Resolution #1739-2013 is even more impactful for New York City Certified small business M/WBE firms.
The resolution raises the discretionary funding limit from $5,000 to $20,000.  This basically means that any publicly funded project in a New York City/State institution (SUNY, public library, fire department, police department, state facility, DMV, etc.) can be purchased from a qualified M/WBE firm without a lengthy and complicated bid process as long as the project amount is below $20,000.  The New York City Council passed this resolution here:  http://legistar.council.nyc.gov/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=1419683&GUID=912624DF-7771-4D04-BF14-6E4BF325E095&Options=&Search=

There is a complete listing of all New York State Certified M/WBE firms at this New York State official site:  https://ny.newnycontracts.com/FrontEnd/VendorSearchPublic.asp  There are many different ways to search for a NYS certified M/WBE on this site.
