“Women- owned and led business lag similar men- owned and led businesses in obtaining both credit and equity even when their financials and business plans are as solid as those of the men. Women get less money and more rigorous terms,” says Dr. Sharon Hadary in her blog for the Wall Street Journal “How Women Entrepreneurs Can Get Better Access to Capital”.

What are some of the key factors to create change identified by successful women and men entrepreneurs and women investors mentioned in Dr. Hadary’s article?

Believe in yourself.
Get to know the players-both bankers and investors-and learn to speak their language.
Benefit from associations focused on women with high growth businesses.

NAWBO Charlotte is here to help you with these three key points! Please join our interactive event on April 1, 2016 where our speakers will prepare you for the ASK by providing a wealth of information focused on:

The personal and business financials required,
The legal language required in your corporate documents in order to be classified as a woman-owned business and
