Women-owned businesses are a
vital part of our nation’s
successful economy. They outpace
other small business sectors in
growth and participate in every
industry.
Their numbers have been
increasing steadily, and more
rapidly, than other small
businesses in the economy. And
their revenue increases are
astonishing, even after
adjusting for inflation. As we
approach a new century, evidence
suggests that women-owned
businesses will be even more
important to the economy.
We need to increase awareness of
the economic implications of
women’s business ownership.
Removing the existing barriers
to the development and growth of
women owned firms will benefit
not just women-owned firms, but
the entire economy. With more
timely, detailed data, we can
better understand the
characteristics of women-owned
businesses and identify policies
that will assist them in their
pursuits
