DiversityBusiness.com, the nations’ leading multicultural Internet site, recently named Access Receivables Management as one of the “Top Women Owned, businesses in the state of Maryland (Div100)”. 

The Div100 is the 8th annual listing of the Maryland’s top 100 women-owned businesses. The companies listed on the Div100 represent the Maryland’s top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a women-owned business is small or insignificant. Div100 members are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with women owned companies.

Debbie Gillespie, Chief Executive Officer of Access said, “I am especially pleased that our firm has been selected for the fourth year in a row and in three categories; Largest Women Owned Business, Top Diversity Business and Top Small Business in Maryland.  We will continue to strive towards providing the best possible services for our clients consistently in order to earn their business and provide new opportunities for our company and our associates”.    

Access is a full service third party debt collection agency that provides receivables management and debt collection services to over three hundred clients throughout the United States. The company has grown from one employee to over forty employees since its inception in 1999.  Recently, the company developed the first animated Virtual Collector (called virtualACCESS) on the web.  This virtual agent enables delinquent debtors to resolve accounts online without the need to speak with a debt collector. 

Affected by recent economic and demographic trends and changes, Fortune 1000 corporations throughout the country have recognized that buying products and services from women owned companies positively impacts their business. Diversity-owned businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.

The Div500 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.
