Foot Solutions Greenville

About: Retail store offering superior and medical solutions.

Top female executive: Celeste Purdie, CEO

What does it mean to be a woman-owned business?

Being a woman-owned business is an incredible opportunity to inspire and support other women entrepreneurs who are dedicated to making a difference in their communities. It means I have the responsibility to seek out and engage with companies that support businesses like mine and to leverage available resources to grow my business. When I succeed, I have the chance to share my knowledge and experiences with those who are also on this journey, whether they are alongside me or following in my footsteps.

What challenges have you faced as a woman-owned business?

My biggest challenge most recently has been getting certified as a woman owned business with the SBA — there is a very long backlog in the certification process. I was able to get certified as a disabled veteran owned business quickly and have been waiting over a year for the woman owned certification process. This can be an obstacle for women and now I feel I am more equipped to coach other women through the process of obtaining certifications.

How do you support women in business and in the community?

I love supporting women in business and in the community and proudly sponsor the blog www.thefacesofthegoldenstrip.com that is focused on highlighting people in our community including women business owners. I also support a women veteran group in the community and make myself available to mentor and encourage other women business owners. At Foot Solutions Greenville we offer local hero discounts year-round in hero categories that are filled with women such as teachers, veterans and first responders.
