Business Loans for Women
Today in the United States, women own more than 11.6 million firms, 5.4 million of which are majority-owned by women of color.1 Together they employ nearly 9 million people and have generated a whopping $1.7 trillion in sales.2
But even with the strong growth of female entrepreneurs, it can still be difficult to obtain business funding. Women entrepreneurs are typically offered smaller loans and even pay significantly higher interest rates than their male counterparts.3 This is even true of government-backed SBA loans, where female business owners tend to receive 2.5 times less than male business owners.4
Female business owners can help fight against this financial discrimination by carefully weighing their lending options and being prepared for the financing application process.
