Women business owners are critically important to the American economy.  America's 9.1 million women-owned businesses employ 27.5 million people and contribute $3.6 trillion to the economy.  However, women continue to face unique obstacles in the world of business.  

The Small Business Administration (SBA) is a very strong advocate for women entrepreneurs and offers many programs and services to help them succeed.  For resources that offer unique opportunities and guidance for women entrepreneurs, visit www.sba.gov/financing/special/women.html.
