Women businesses are growing at twice the rate nationally. Between 1997 and 2006, businesses fully women-owned, or majority-owned by women, grew at nearly twice the rate of all U.S. firms
WOMEN-OWNED BUSINESSES
According to the Center for Women's Business Research as of 2005, women-owned firms employ 19.1 million people and generate $2.5 trillion in sales. As a country we cannot ignore the economic impact that women contribute to the community and their respective families.
AVITA's EXPERIENCE:
The AVITA Business Center has worked diligently over the past decade supporting and advocating on behalf of women-owned businesses. AVITA's CEO spear-headed the Arizona Women's Business Center and the Oregon Women's Business Center; both programs supervised through the Small Business Administration.
PROJECTS:
While it is not prudent to generalize there has been enough studies that indicate women operate businesses quite differently to male-driven businesses. According to an article in Fast Company, women prefer searching for common interests, solving problems, and collaborating to find win-win outcomes.
HOW CAN WE HELP?
AVITA takes a very realistic approach to women starting or growing their businesses. In most cases while women may work full-time they are still responsible for the care of their family; children, parents, and spouse. It is critical that lifestyle assessment is incorporated in the strategic assessment of any consulting or plan endeavor.
In addition to our marketing, finance and certification services we focus on linking women with other women to empower each other. We believe that collectively it is better to support each other and work for the benefit of an industry, a community, or a cause then to work alone. Our organization has won numerous awards representing women-owned firms including the SBA Woman Champion of the Year Award.
