The National Association of Women in Real Estate Businesses (NAWRB) announces the expansion of its Small Business Sustainability Care Package with a fifth pillar, Small Claims Accountability. In December 2016, NAWRB released the Small Business Sustainability Care Package to provide accountability and sustainability to the 30 million small businesses across the nation. As small business owners encounter obstacles, NAWRB equips them with sound tools and information for success.
With limited resources, it is crucial for small business owners to know their rights and resources, to be able to identify a streamlined course of action when an issue arises. Sharon Asar, Deputy Ombudsman, CFPB Ombudsman’s Office and Philip D. Lovas, Regional Advocate – SBA Region IX, Office of Advocacy, U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) shared the resources their offices offer to America’s small business owners and the value they hold for entrepreneurs.
We are excited to announce that NAWRB’s nominee for the InnovateHER Challenge, City Girl Prepper, is one of the six local winners advancing to the semi-final round!
City Girl Prepper is helping women to be prepared for everyday disruptions and disasters with ready-made emergency kits and gear designed for women and their families. City Girl Prepper provides women with the resources they need, want, and deserve to have in case of an emergency.
At the Small Business Administration, we recognize that helping small women-owned businesses is critical to our economy. Women-owned businesses are one of the fastest growing segments. In fact, from 2002 to 2007, the growth of women-owned firms outpaced firms owned by men at a rate of 4-to-1.
The impact women-owned businesses have on our economy is easy to see: they employ more than 7 million workers and generate more than $1 trillion in revenue each year. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is committed to helping these businesses start, succeed, and grow, with opportunities for women-owned businesses existing in all of SBA’s core program areas.
Today the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) issued a release inviting funding proposals from state, local and tribal government agencies, institutions of higher learning and non-profit organizations to “provide ‘Boots to Business’ entrepreneurship training to service members, military spouses, and veterans.”
The SBA’s Office of Veterans Business Development (OVBD) is hosting the competition, which will allow the SBA to administer the global Boots to Business program. Providing “entrepreneurial education and training to military service members and spouses,” the program consists of an Introduction to Entrepreneurship two-day classroom course and a Foundations of Entrepreneurship eight-week, instructor led online course.
