Resources for Women-Owned Businesses

Listen to the show: SBA and Women-Owned Businesses

Did you know that women-owned businesses across the country employ 35% more staff than all of the Fortune 500 companies combined, plus women-owned businesses generated $1.3 trillion in revenue last year and employ 7.7 million people nationwide? Women business owners are making a huge contribution to the economy and there are a multitude of resources to help these businesses succeed and thrive in today's economy.

Eric Ness, District Director for the Small Business Administration - Wisconsin District Office, is back in the studio with Diane this week to talk about resources and opportunities for women-owned businesses. The SBA helps small businesses by providing Capital (Lending), Contracting, and Counseling programs. Listen to Eric and Diane, along with two local women business owners, talk about how to take advantage of the SBA's resources.
