Ramp Enterprises was founded in March 1996 by Elaine Penta Rampone, based on the market need for quality assurance services for businesses.
In today’s business market 
place, two major issues are impacting small to medium size businesses:
- The cost of employees (benefits and overhead)
- Customer requirements for both quality products and quality assurance systems to support the business process
Ramp Enterprises, LLC provides various quality assurance services to a variety of industries. The premise of the business is:
- To provide a service at a cost-efficient rate to the customer
- To maintain a long-term relationship for satisfying the customer’s unique quality needs
- To be available to answer questions concerning the everyday quality operations
By providing the service at affordable rates, the customer can identify potential profits associated with utilizing Ramp versus the overhead associated with hiring a full-time employee. Ramp will provide its own resources and office space to accomplish the task and/or will work side-by-side with the customer at the facility, as needed.
