We are proud to announce that Allen Morris Investigations LLC has officially earned certification from the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) as a woman-owned business. This milestone represents our commitment to excellence in workplace investigations and our dedication to the values of diversity and inclusion that we uphold every day in our work across California.
What WBENC Certification Means
WBENC certification is widely recognized as the gold standard for woman-owned business certification in the United States. To achieve this status, we underwent a rigorous vetting process that verifies our business is at least 51 percent owned, controlled, operated, and managed by a woman. This thorough review included examination of business documentation and validation that a woman has unrestricted control of the company, demonstrates management of daily operations, and has made a proportionate investment of capital or expertise.
Because the certification process is so comprehensive, WBENC certification is accepted by more than 1,000 corporations nationwide, along with many state governments, cities, and other entities. For businesses seeking workplace investigation services from certified diverse suppliers, our WBENC status provides assurance of our qualifications and commitment.
The Value of Supporting Women-Owned Businesses
WBENC certification opens doors to a vast network of support and opportunities. As a certified woman-owned business, Allen Morris Investigations gains access to targeted business opportunities specifically designed for certified firms. We now have increased visibility in corporate and government supply chains, which allows us to serve more California businesses, schools, and organizations that need expert workplace investigation services.
The certification also provides access to education and development programs that help us grow our capacity to serve clients. We benefit from networking and mentorship opportunities with thousands of women entrepreneurs and supporters who share our commitment to professional excellence.
WBENC is also an approved third-party certifier for the Small Business Administration’s Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contracting Program, which creates additional opportunities to serve public sector clients throughout California and beyond.
Our Continued Commitment to Excellence
This certification reinforces what has always been true about Allen Morris Investigations. We are a business built on integrity, thoroughness, and a deep commitment to fair and impartial workplace investigations. Whether we are conducting harassment investigations, discrimination inquiries, employee misconduct reviews, or Title IX compliance investigations, our clients can trust that they are working with a certified, professional firm that meets the highest standards.
Our WBENC certification is not just a badge of honor. It is a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and expertise that goes into every investigation we conduct. For organizations in Orange County and throughout California that prioritize working with diverse suppliers, our certification provides confidence that they are partnering with a qualified, verified woman-owned business.
In addition to our WBENC certification, Allen Morris Investigations holds several other important certifications that demonstrate our commitment to excellence and accessibility. We are certified as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) through the Small Business Administration, a Small Business Enterprise (SBE) with the City of Long Beach, and a California Small Business (Micro). These certifications ensure that public agencies and private organizations throughout California can confidently partner with us for their workplace investigation needs.
Looking Ahead
We are grateful for this recognition and excited about the opportunities it creates to serve more clients who need thorough, professional workplace investigations. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to the values that have guided us from the beginning: conducting fair, impartial investigations that help organizations create safer, more equitable workplaces.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Allen Morris Investigations on this journey. We look forward to continuing to serve businesses, schools, and organizations across California with the same dedication and professionalism that earned us this important certification.
