Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book documents the changes in women-owned businesses over time, explores disparities in the characteristics of businesses owned by women as compared to those owned by men, and discusses potential reasons for these disparities and the different outcomes that are associated with them. The focus is on proprietorships, partnerships, or any type of privately-held corporation with one or more owners. Publicly-held companies are not included. Women-owned businesses contribute significantly to the U.S. economy. In 2007, 7.8 million firms were owned by women, accounting for almost 30% of all non-farm, privately-held U.S. firms. Women-owned firms had sales/receipts of $1.2 trillion and those with paid employees had 7.6 million workers. The number of women-owned businesses has grown over time. Between 1997 and 2007, the number of women-owned businesses grew by 44%, twice as fast as men-owned firms, and they added roughly 500,000 jobs while other privately-held firms lost jobs. In part, this is because women-owned firms were more likely to be located in industry sectors that experienced employment growth, such as health care and education services. Between the years 1997 and 2002, the number of businesses owned by minority women increased faster than those owned by non-minority women, with minority women-owned firms accounting for more than half of the increase in women-owned businesses. Women-owned businesses are typically smaller than men-owned businesses. Although women own 30% of privately-held businesses, these businesses account for only 11% of sales and 13% of employment among privately-held companies. Average sales/receipts for women-owned businesses are only 25% of average sales/receipts for men-owned businesses. Women-owned businesses are concentrated in industry sectors where firms are typically smaller. There are substantial differences in the financing utilized by women-owned versus men-owned businesses. Women start with less capital than men and are less likely to take on additional debt to expand their businesses. They are more likely than men to indicate that they do not need any financing to start their business. It is difficult to distinguish preferences from constraints in these data. For instance, women may encounter less favorable loan conditions than men or they may be less willing to take on risk by seeking outside capital. The characteristics of self-employed women are similar to those of self-employed men. Compared to the non-self-employed, self-employed women and men are older, more likely to be married, and less likely to have children at home. However, women who are self-employed work fewer hours on average in their business than self-employed men. The annual earnings ratio between self-employed women and men is 55%, well below the ratio between non-self-employed women and men. The growth of women-owned businesses, and their performance as job creators at a time when other privately-held businesses were losing jobs, testifies to the importance of women-owned businesses to the economy. These businesses represent a potential source of future economic growth, yet they have a long way to go to achieve parity with men-owned businesses. More consideration should be given to identifying and implementing measures that support women's business ownership, such as increasing the networks, mentoring, and information available to potential women business owners, as well as assuring that start-up capital is available.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the U.S. is at the forefront of nations promoting women's business ownership and entrepreneurship, the role of U.S. federal policies in supporting these goals remains unexamined. This study examines six decades (1951-2011) of U.S. Federal Statutes to answer the research question--how do U.S. federal policies support women's business ownership and women's entrepreneurship? The study methodology includes quantitative and qualitative analysis of federal laws and resolutions. The quantitative analysis suggests that in 1988, with the passage of the Women's Business Ownership Act, the U.S. began to intensify policy interest in this area. What began as policy experimentation in 1988 gradually became institutionalized. The qualitative analysis suggests that in terms of broad policy intent and intended outcomes not much has changed since 1988. Given this sobering finding, we discuss important implications and future research questions to motivate stronger research on how government can better support women business owners and entrepreneurs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like all entrepreneurs, women business owners face many challenges in making their entrepreneurship dreams a reality. Some of the challenges faced by women may be specific to women, due to the historical and cultural context within which they do their work. The National Women's Business Council (NWBC), initiated this research to better understand the reasons behind the general lag of women-owned business growth, as compared to firms owned by men. The NWBC looked to the research to provide insights on key considerations when reaching out to women entrepreneurs to encourage maximum growth of their businesses. The research centered on questions about three key attitudinal areas associated with business ownership and growth: risk tolerance, motivations, and expectations. The research team also listened for instances where culture could be influencing behaviors or experiences. This book provides an overview on issues and factors affecting access to capital for women-owned firms with a particular focus on growth-oriented firms. Differences between men and women business owners regarding firm growth, amount and sources of financial capital, and the relationship between the two are also explored.
