We are a Women's Business Enterprise

...and we're interested in working with you.

The Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) certification for women-owned businesses is one of the most widely recognized and respected certifications in the nation. Accepted by more than 700 major corporations across the US, WBENC's national standard of certification is a meticulous process including an in-depth review of the business and site inspection. The stringent certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a woman or women.

For supplier diversity managers

We genuinely appreciate your support of women-owned businesses and your commitment to positively impact your corporation's bottom line by seeking out diverse suppliers and vendors. In turn, we actively seek to support the corporations that support women-owned businesses in our own buying decisions.

If you're interested in appealing to the US' most powerful consumer group—women—we'd love to hear from you! Please email or call Elizabeth Hiers at 843.442.9519 to let us know what you need. We will always take care to ensure you receive full credit for your diversity spend with us and, as needed, our women-owned partners.

For women owned businesses

We enjoy supporting women owned businesses ourselves! We also offer our clients strategic alliances with other women-owned firms as needed. If your business is also a certified women's business enterprise (whether through WBENC or another certifying agency) that offers services complimentary to ours, we'd love to hear from you!

To start the conversation, please email Elizabeth Hiers a brief description of your business and how you'd like to partner with us, your website address, and if applicable to your field, a link to samples of your firm's work. (Please note: because we offer a high caliber of customer service to our own clients, we will later ask you for references we can contact. We seek absolutely reliable allies and partners who are great at what they do, are deeply dedicated to excellent customer service, and unfailingly keep their word.)

We look forward to talking with you about how we can work together!
