Why it matters
Why get CCR™ credentialed
Winning corporate and enterprise work isn’t only about what your business can do — it’s about whether buyers trust that you’re ready. The CCR™ credential gives you a credible, independent signal that you understand their processes, terminology, and risk expectations, helping you stand out in a crowded field of suppliers and cut the onboarding friction that slows deals down.
- Stand out to corporate buyers
- Prove readiness, not just capability
- A mark of preparedness, valid two years
What it covers
The things buyers check before they sign.
Enterprise procurement
How large organizations source, evaluate and select suppliers.
Supplier risk
What buyers look for in a supplier's stability, capacity and continuity.
Compliance
Insurance, documentation and policy requirements that come with corporate work.
Contracting
Terms, expectations and the gaps to close before you bid.
Who it’s for
Ohio businesses that want to compete for corporate contracts, whether or not they hold MBE or SBE Certification.
How it fits with certification
CCR measures readiness. MBE and SBE Certification verify ownership and size. They work together; CCR doesn’t replace either one.

A one-time $299 exam fee. Once earned, the CCR™ credential is valid for two (2) years, with renewal by re-exam or approved continuing education.
