Women Owned Small Business

We pride ourselves on being champions of female entrepreneurs and providing business loans for women.  Statistically, wo­men now start busi­nesses at high­er rates than men do, and minor­ity wo­men start busi­nesses at the highest rate of all, but they do not always have the same access to business financing as their male counterparts.

Per the National Women’s National Council, as of 2025, there are approximately 12 to 13 million women-owned businesses in the United States. Specifically, 42% of all businesses in the U.S. are women-owned, employing about 9.4 million workers and generating $1.9 trillion in revenues annually. 

There are over 1,800 new women-owned businesses are created each day in the U.S., and the top priority of women-owned businesses is to get more funding and financial help. Surprisingly, only 2.4% of venture capital funding goes to female founders in the U.S.
