* Women employ 12.8 million workers, generating 1.9(that’s one in every seven employees).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

* For the past two decades, majority women-owned firms have continued to grow at around two times the rate of all firms.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

* Over half of all women business owners (57%) have a line of credit for their business and 41% have a commercial bank loan.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

* The majority of women business owners in nontraditional industries (85%) believe there is no disadvantage to being a woman or that it is actually beneficial.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

* Women and men business owners have different management styles. Women emphasize relationship building as well as fact gathering and are more likely to consult with experts, employees, and fellow business owners.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
