MEET THE CEO
Hi, I’m Nefertiria Lawrence, a fierce advocate for minority entrepreneurs and the powerhouse behind The Bizness Plug & Co.
I created this company because I’ve seen too many minority-owned businesses left out of the conversations that matter the ones that lead to contracts, capital, and growth. As a Black woman in business, I understand the barriers. That’s why I’ve made it my mission to help business owners like YOU break them down starting with the right certifications.
With over a decade of experience helping entrepreneurs build structure, get compliant, and secure funding, I specialize in helping you navigate systems that weren’t built for us and win in them anyway.
Whether you’re just starting out or already in business but overlooked, I’m here to help you get certified, visible, and profitable.
Let’s get your business the respect it deserves because you didn’t come this far to be counted out.
