Women-owned businesses

Women-owned businesses are companies where women have significant control and ownership, typically owning 51% or more of the business. These businesses can operate in any industry and vary in size from small startups to large corporations. Recognized for promoting gender equality, they play a vital role in the economy by creating jobs and fostering innovation. Certifications like the Women's Business Enterprise (WBE) can help these businesses access various opportunities and resources. Supporting women-owned businesses contributes to economic diversity and helps address gender disparities in entrepreneurship.
