In its 13 year history, Woman Owned has served over 15 million unique visitors by offering women information on starting and growing their own businesses. The new and improved website continues to offer quality information but in a more organized and interactive way with more benefits for entrepreneurs.

New Membership Area Will Promote Women Businesses

The new membership area will not only provide members with the ability to network with one another, but will feature detailed business profiles where each member will be able to advertise their products and services and also indicate if they are looking for investment or funding. “Access to capital is one of the largest issues that women face when starting or growing their businesses, “Ms. Blenk says. “We want our members to promote their business and gain access to interested investors through this new online directory of members.”

Growth for WomanOwned.com Membership and Women’s Businesses

WomanOwned.com currently has over 17,000 members worldwide and with the new business profiles and funding request sections, we anticipate growing to over 25,000 members by the end of 2010. Beyond our membership growth, we really want women to focus on the growth of their companies through making new connections. With only 3% of our 10 million businesses making over $1 million annually, women need to do more to connect and grow. Womanowned.com provides the resources to help make this happen. We invite any woman business owner to visit and register for an invitation to our new Membership Area.
