Top 10 of the Valley’s Women-Owned Businesses

Our fearless leader Deborah- ranking high in the women-owned business categories!

In a list compiled by the San Fernando Business Journal last month of the Valley’s Largest Women Owned Businesses, MyCorporation had the distinction of being featured within the top 10 on two separate listings. For ranking on the list of Valley-area companies by number of employees MyCorp came in at #8 (standing tall with 47) and held the #9 spot for 2011 revenue.

To qualify, the business had to be at least 51 percent women-owned with at least five people employed. About 40 companies made the list and altogether in the San Fernando Valley region women-owned companies employ more than 2,500 people.

As our CEO Deborah Sweeney mentions in the SFVBJ, it’s rare to find a woman at the top of the intersection of the legal and business worlds- the worlds that MyCorporation currently navigates at. But we couldn’t be more excited or proud to see our company included on the list twice! Congrats all around to our team for their hard work and dedication!
