There are many resources available to you, as a woman business owner, to enhance your leadership and grow your company. From building your peer network, to accessing government contracts, your banker can be a vital partner in your growth. Here are a few tips:
1. Build confidence and your network.
Organizations like the Patsy T. Mink Center for Business and Leadership, a Women’s Business Center affiliated with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), offers workshops and coaching to help you start or expand your business. Additionally, it offers opportunities to network with peers and industry leaders for professional development, business opportunities and community engagement.
2. Consider pursuing federal contracts for women-owned small businesses.
The SBA’s Women-Owned Small Businesses Federal Contracting program helps women-owned small businesses compete for federal contracts in industries where they are underrepresented. The SBA is a great resource that can help you identify opportunities you may qualify for.
