BEP – Business Enterprise Program Management 

Empowering Entrepreneurs. Streamlining Statewide Operations

Libera BEP helps state agencies efficiently manage their Business Enterprise Programs: tracking operators, facilities, agreements, and equipment in one secure platform. 
Built on Libera’s GovCloud infrastructure, BEP replaces manual spreadsheets and disconnected systems with automation, insight, and accountability. Section 508 compliant and built for the blind operators at the center of every program.

From Manual Management to innovative BEP Oversight

Managing operators, contracts and facilities manually creates inconsistencies and compliance risks. 

How BEP Helps:
Automates the entire operator lifecycle, from onboarding and performance tracking to renewals and terminations, ensuring consistency, transparency and accountability across all program operations.

Data scattered across files and systems limits insight into site performance and program health.

How BEP Helps:
Centralizes data across operators, facilities, and financials; providing real-time dashboards that reveal trends, profitability, and compliance metrics for smarter decision-making.

Preparing reports and audits manually consumes time and introduces error.

How BEP Helps:
Generates audit-ready reports in seconds, ensuring compliance with RSA-15 and other federal requirements while improving data accuracy and accountability.

Without automation, program coordination and notifications fall behind.

How BEP Helps:
Automated workflows streamline communication, authorizations and updates, reducing administrative burden so staff can focus on empowering blind entrepreneurs and expanding program reach. The portal is Section 508 compliant and JAWS-compatible — blind operators can access it directly, without relying on intermediaries.
