Karen K Photo Earns Prestigious Women-Owned Business Certifications

Karen K Photo, a leading commercial photography business in Seminole County, is proud to announce its recent achievements in being recognized as a women-owned business by two highly regarded organizations. These certifications mark a significant milestone for the company, further establishing its commitment to excellence, innovation, and diversity.

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) has officially certified Karen K Photo as both a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) and an Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB). These certifications enable Karen K Photo to compete for federal set-aside contracting opportunities, giving the company access to unique growth opportunities within the public sector.

Additionally, Karen K Photo received certification from the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE). This certification highlights the business's compliance with strict standards, including being operational for more than two years and being at least 51% unconditionally and directly woman-owned. With this validation, Karen K Photo is poised to collaborate with corporations that prioritize supplier diversity programs.

“These certifications are tools to help me increase visibility and opportunities to grow my business,” said Karen Kurta, owner and founder of Karen K Photo. “Having the certifications will be a big differentiator, and I’m thrilled to leverage them to expand our reach.”

Empowering Women Entrepreneurs Through Certification Programs
