United Payment Services Named to DiversityBusiness.com's Top Emerging Businesses in the U.S - 2010

Online, January 20, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Westlake Village, CA, 1/19/2010 In recognition of the economic power of privately held businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations' leading business-to-business internet site, recently named United Payment Services as one of the top businesses in the United States.
This is the 10th annual listing of the United State's top businesses by DiversityBusiness.com. Companies listed on the Top Business Lists represent the Nation's top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a privately held business is small or insignificant. Winners are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with small businesses.
"Entrepreneurs are a growing force in the U.S. economy, and a force to be reckoned with," said Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates International, the company that built DiversityBusiness.com. This is a whole business segment that can carry its own, that provides jobs, products and services, and generates wealth for their communities. These are the new leaders in American business."

The List
This List is a classification that represents the top small businesses in the U.S., in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, food service and professional services. The List 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.
The winning companies will be honored at a special awards ceremony at DiversityBusiness.com's "10th Annual National Multicultural Business Conference", taking place April 27 - 29, 2010 at the Gaylord Resorts, Washington, DC.
