Commercial Business
Optimize Your Business and Empower Your Clients
For businesses looking to optimize efficiency, access to top talent, and exposure to all customers, Deaf access is no longer an option. The modern Deaf individual is more empowered than ever to participate in both the consumer market and the workforce. By adhering to ADA law and providing reasonable accommodation for all Deaf stakeholders, your business is opened up to millions of Deaf and Hard of Hearing customers and workers, whose share of wealth and talent are exploding in direct correlation with accessibility legislation and enforcement.

BIS provides Deaf, digital, and spoken language access services for businesses and corporations nationwide. We deliver services that support Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing employees and customers. Services include:
- American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting

- CART captioning
- ASL Localization & Postproduction
- Spoken Language Interpreting
- Document Translation & Transcription
These Deaf access solutions help businesses like yours ensure equal access in classrooms, IEP meetings, parent-teacher conferences, school events, and administrative settings.
Video remote interpreting (VRI), also known as video interpreting services or VRI interpreting services, connects users to a qualified ASL interpreter through secure video technology in real time. Businesses use VRI for virtual meetings, last-minute needs, hybrid environments, and whenever flexibility and cost are top of mind.
VRI is a flexible, cost-effective way to provide sign language access without needing an onsite interpreter, while still meeting ADA requirements.
BIS provides experienced sign language interpreters who understand the nuances of the professional and commercial environment. Whether supporting internal meetings, trainings, and events within the office or facilitating communication between your organization and customers, BIS ensures effective communication tailored to not only the stakeholders involved but also the subject matter and specializations. Our interpreters are trained to support a wide range of professional and communication styles.
ASL meaning refers to American Sign Language, a complete, visual language with its own grammar and structure. BIS provides professional ASL interpreting services to support all stakeholders who rely on sign language for communication. As a Deaf-founded interpreting agency, BIS brings lived experience and cultural understanding to every engagement, helping schools deliver authentic and effective accessibility.
In addition to sign language and video remote interpreting services, BIS offers CART captioning services, sign language postproduction, consultation, and tailored Deaf access solutions that enhance inclusion across commercial organizations. These services help businesses go beyond basic compliance and create environments where Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing individuals can fully participate.
