GAINESVILLE, VIRGINIA -- In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nation's leading multicultural internet site, recently named TARAS TECHNIQUES LLC as one of the "Top 500 Emerging Businesses in the United States (Div500)".
The Div500 is the 8th annual listing of the Nation's top 500 emerging businesses under a million. The companies listed on the Div500 represent the Nation's emerging multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a small business is small or insignificant. Div500 members are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with small and diversity owned companies.
The Impact of Small Business
"Small businesses and consumers are a growing force in the U.S. economy, and a force to be reckoned with," said Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates International, the company that built DiversityBusiness.com. This is a whole business segment that can carry its own, that provides jobs, products and services, and generates wealth for their communities. These are the new leaders in American business."
Affected by recent economic and demographic trends and changes, Fortune 1000 corporations throughout the country have recognized that buying products and services from small and diversity owned companies positively impacts their business. Small businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.
Carmen Castillo, President of Superior Design International, Inc., Florida commented - "These groups of companies represent the organizational spirit that drives our economy and even more. It offers insights into a vastness of cultures and an exchange of ideas that are so valuable in helping me to understand how to reach the needs of today's consumers.
"Maximizing and capitalizing on workplace diversity means representing and taking part of a larger conglomerate of professional individuals, stated Taras NK Raggio, President of TARAS TECHNIQUES LLC".
