Have you ever wanted to help out women entrepreneur's? Well here is your chance!
When you pay to receive a Surprise Box for Women, you are helping women entrepreneurs.
Many women are struggling to start new businesses.
Small business loans are not as available as they once were. Heck, jobs are not as available as they once were. When you purchase a Surprise Box and share the products and promotional items with your friends, you are helping small business women to distribute and advertise.
Billie Dragoo, chairwoman of the National Association of
Women Business Owners in Indiana states that, when women go into business, they
usually have to rely on family and friends for funding. Less than 4 percent of
venture capital investment goes to women-owned businesses, she said.
According to a report written by Julie Weeks, research
adviser on women’s entrepreneurship for American Express OPEN, the
small-business advocacy arm of the multinational financial services
corporation. Growth in the number of Indiana women-owned businesses during the
past 17 years is less than half the national rate. States hit hardest by the
recession saw slower growth in all businesses.
25 years ago Federal law made it illegal for lenders to
require women to have a male relative co-sign for business loans. Banks do not
fund starts up because they are regulated. A business has to have sound
fundamentals, including a business plan, staff expertise and opportunity for
growth.
Barbara Johnson, senior program manager for the Fort Wayne
Women’s Bureau, used retirement savings to invest in her studio instead of
allowing the bank to use her home as collateral for a business loan.
