I am transferring 75% equity interest in one of my operating entities to my wife and want to get it certified as a woman-owned business enterprise. Does anyone have experience with this and recommend a provider to use for the certification process?

One watch-out:
Similar to veteran-owned / service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, there is both an ownership and a "control" component - i.e. the business basically needs to be both owned and operated by the person holding that special status. So she can't just be an owner on paper; she (or another woman American citizen) needs to be operating and controlling the business on a daily basis. As far as my research has shown, this is one of the most common dimensions on which a challenge of status may be issued.
