The Enterprising Investor says, “The future is female” and points to pre-pandemic statistics that show women-owned businesses (particularly startups) “may be bigger than we think.” And the latest statistics we have about female business owners from the NWBC Report show they own 42 percent of all businesses in the U.S. (that’s about 13 million female entrepreneurs), employ 9.4 million people, and earn $1.9 trillion in revenues. Even the female business owners who had no employees had total revenues of more than $229 billion.
For many women, entrepreneurship is the means to a limitless future. So how can you take advantage of that? One way is to get certified. If you’re a female business owner, getting your business certified offers several benefits, including increasing your company’s visibility, gaining access to opportunities you might not otherwise have, and securing the chance to win corporate or government contracts.
Who should attend:
Women who want to learn more about the advantages of being certified as a woman-owned business.
