Annual Top Business List Recognizes the Economic Power of Privately Held Businesses. Where 2 Get It, Inc., leading provider of local search for national brands that provides Web, mobile and search based locators for big brands, today announced that DiversityBusiness.com, the nation’s leading business-to-business Internet site, recently named Where 2 Get It as one of the top businesses in the United States.

“This award is an important honor and a mark of distinction, especially in today’s challenging economic climate,” said Manish Patel, CEO and Founder, Where 2 Get It. “We are continuing to move our business forward by offering national and regional brands new locator solutions that are in line with today’s technology and consumer buying process, for Web, mobile, and search.”

In this ninth annual listing of the top businesses by DiversityBusiness.com, Where 2 Get It joins a prestigious roster of companies representing the nation’s top multicultural earners and challenging the long-held notion that a privately held business is small or insignificant. Winners are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with small businesses.

“Entrepreneurs 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,” added Clarke.

The DiversityBusiness.com Top 500 List is a classification that represents the top small businesses in the U.S., in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, food service and professional services.

The List is produced annually by DiversityBusiness.com, the nation’s leading multicultural B2B Internet portal that links large organizational buyers to multicultural product and service suppliers.
