Another advantage is the tax benefits and credits available to businesses. With less than 2% of minorities certified as construction product distributors, Illinois—and many other states—offer tax incentives to companies that purchase from certified MBEs. When you source materials from Lotus Home Improvement, your dedicated sales representative will supply you with detailed invoices and receipts for all purchases made within the current tax year. Present these to your accounting professional to receive valuable tax credits for supporting a certified Minority Business Enterprise.

Partnering with an MBE is a powerful way to show your commitment to diversity. It signifies that you prioritize sourcing products and services from diverse organizations, aligning with your supplier diversity goals and supporting community-focused economic growth. This choice not only advances diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts within your organization but also strengthens the local economy by backing certified businesses equipped to deliver excellence. Certified MBEs are prepared to meet your needs with a dedication to quality that benefits everyone involved.

Partnering with woman- and minority-owned businesses, like the Johnsons at Lotus Home Improvement, fosters innovation and inclusivity while attracting customers who value diversity. Proudly representing top-quality residential and commercial construction products across Chicago, we deliver excellence with trusted partners.
