BE 100s: The 2006 Report

Champions. Contenders. Down For the Count. These categories best characterize the companies that constitute the BE 100s--the nation's largest black-owned businesses. One common trait they all share is a fighting spirit. These enterprises-from the top-ranked black industrial/ service companies to the leading African American financial services firms-all fought for revenue growth, market share, and improved profitability in a rough-and-tumble business arena.
