BeneFx Established
as Majority Woman-Owned Employee Benefits Company
BeneFx, a comprehensive
employee benefits company, is pleased to announce that as a result of a new strategic
investor the Company has materialized into a majority women-owned business. BeneFx’s
new ownership mix adds to the estimated 6.2 million majority-owned, privately-held,
woman-owned firms in the United States; a category that, according to the National
Association of Women Business Owners, employs 9.2 million people and generates
$1.15 trillion in sales.
“Joining the ranks of majority woman-owned firms,
America’s fastest growing business category, helps us define and differentiate
our mission and customer service philosophy,” stated Craig Nunn, Co-founder
and President of BeneFx, Inc. “We specialize in servicing small-
and mid-size companies with entrepreneurial drive that are increasingly also woman-owned
businesses. We know that their [human resource] needs, and certainly their expectations,
are not different from their larger competitors. However, their needs are unique
– and we are there to meet them.”
“Since 1987, the number of
women-owned firms in the U.S. has doubled, employment has increased four-fold,
and their revenues have risen five-fold. We are looking forward to growing our
reach as a result of this strategic investment,” concluded Nunn.
