Growth of Business Sector through Women Entrepreneurs

A massive raise in number of women entrepreneurs is a proof of their successful businesses. Although,

it was not an easy task to work on but their steady yet efficient efforts made it possible. The arena for

their business financing is also not limited and their businesses can be funded for start up, expansion,

buying machinery and equipment, franchise loans. Not only this, but due to their excellent performance

in business sector they deserve to acquire government grants as well.

If you are a woman and planning to start your own business venture do you think it would be difficult for

you? All you have to do is to plan your finances apart from your personal investment. You can either

approach banks, financial institutions or any other resources to get the financing done. Basically, this is

the usual procedure one follows to acquire additional capital for a business.

But, was business financing as easy as it is in today’s scenario especially for women? I would say ‘no’

things were not so simple earlier for women to start up or expand their business. They literally had to

fight for many challenges came their way and get them sorted. And, now looking at the expansion of

business sector specifically with the increasing number of women owners gives assurance to their future

growth also.

Reasons women can take loans

Reasons for obtaining loans by women entrepreneurs are as vast as by any other. There are no such

restrictions presently on women business owners. However, earlier also any limitation was not there but

banks and lender used to find it difficult or rather risky to lend money to businesses owned by women.

Now, the multiple choices of loans include start up loans , loan for business growth or expansion,

equipment financing, working capital loan, franchise loan so on and so forth. They also follow same rules

and regulations related to loan and rate of interest also does not differ. To take it further if there is no

difference and they follow the usual loan procedure then submission of financial documents and making

business plan are also a part of acquiring desired amount of loan from lenders. Because as we all know

how important a business plan and credit history are for any loan approval.

Loans for SBA

Like many other financing resources (banks, lending institutions, private lenders, credit union, venture

capital etc) a woman entrepreneur can approach SBA to get funds for her business venture. SBA (Small

Business Administration) is the U.S. agency which helps small business owners to take loans from banks

and financial institution. However, SBA also follows a particular process that makes the deal possible for

both lenders and borrowers. Therefore, if you approach SBA to arrange capital from banks for your

business use then your loan application must get SBA’s approval.

How grants help women entrepreneurs

It is not only big or metropolitan cities which are showing growth of businesses owned by women.

However, some under privileged places and communities also have vast business potential to explore

but they lack in resources. What government, SBA, and Public banks do? They locate such kind of talent

and give them chance to execute their business plan by providing them financing in a form of grants.
