Today, there are over 12 million women-owned businesses in the United States that employ almost 10 million people. Many women still, however, struggle to obtain the resources they need to start and grow their businesses. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and Women’s Business Centers (WBC’s) offer support to help make the American dream of business ownership a reality. SBA is the go-to resource for capital, counseling, contracting, and disaster assistance, and the WBCs seek to level the playing field for women entrepreneurs through counseling and education.
Come to this dynamic and exciting Women’s History Month event to hear from WBC leaders and small business owners as they offer valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of being a woman entrepreneur. Small Business Owners who have leveraged SBA and WBC resources on their path to achievement will share success stories with the audience.
