The Business Directory

The OBDC has compiled a database of all firms that are registered as MBE's, WBE's, or SBE’s with the City of Memphis.

To search the Directory, you must select at least one certification type. Enter additional search criteria to narrow your search results.

If searching for businesses that provide specific capabilities, enter keywords into the "Business Description" field. Examples: Use "electric" instead of "electrician", "carpentry" instead of "carpenter", etc. Be more general in your search to ensure complete search results. Instead of "Real Estate Property Manager" enter "Real Estate" or "Property".

Search results may be downloaded to Excel, by clicking the "Download Entire Directory" button after your search results are displayed. To download the full Certification Directory do not enter search criteria, scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Download Entire Directory to Excel" button.
