Women In Business

 The number of women entrepreneurs is booming. A report from the Center for Women’s Business Research, Key Facts about Women-Owned Business-2006 Update, found that there are 7.7 million majority owned women-owned businesses in the U.S. If you’re one of those women, you’re not the only one pulling for your business to succeed. The federal government offers programs that provide business assistance and procurement opportunities especially for businesses that are owned by minorities and women. You can learn about those programs with the free online Success Skills Seminar "Government Programs for Minority-Owned Businesses". Topics:
  • SBA programs for minority businesses
