Star Enterprises

What Star Enterprises does

Star Enterprises, Inc. is a privately-held facilities services company headquartered at 80 M Street SE, Washington, D.C., operating under founder Naomi D. Brown as a 100% woman and minority-owned business. The company delivers an integrated suite of six core services: employee staffing (temporary, permanent, emergency, and outsourcing across hospitality and commercial roles such as bartenders, housekeepers, front desk agents, servers, and valets); janitorial and facilities management using Green Clean Certified materials; employee training (new hire, continuing education, management development, process improvement); facility deep cleaning via the proprietary S3 Cleaning Standards program aligned to CDC guidelines; snow and ice management; and office management/administrative support.

The company's client base is concentrated in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area and spans hospitality (Marriott, Hilton, Hyatt, Kimpton, Loews, Starwood, Capella, Canopy, HHM), commercial real estate and services (WeWork, Transwestern, Iron Mountain), government (Smithsonian Institution, DC Government Parks and Recreation), and residential (apartments and condominiums). Its go-to-market is sales-led, combining direct enterprise outreach, a website "Request Talent" form, and referral-driven acquisition in the hospitality vertical.

Revenue is generated through professional services contracts priced on a quote basis determined by scope, headcount, service frequency, and contract duration, with multi-year contract structures noted in pricing documentation. The company monetizes a portfolio of federal, district, and industry certifications — including 8(a), EDWOSB CBE, LDBE, MBE, SBE, OSHA 10, US EPA Lead Paint, Green Clean Certified, and woman-owned status — to access set-aside government contracts and meet corporate supplier diversity requirements. There is no disclosed revenue, headcount, funding history, or parent organization, and operations are limited to the Washington, D.C. regional market.
