The Center for Women's Business Research provides data-driven knowledge that advances the economic, social and political impact of women business owners and their enterprises. This data driven knowledge provides the business imperative for embracing women business owners as customers, suppliers, community leaders, public policy influencers and role models for business leadership.

"As a marketer focused on reaching small to mid-size businesses I have personal experience with the value and credibility that the Center offers. Their research provides insight that you can act on. And being associated with their programs adds instant credibility to your company. Even putting aside all the good that they do, they are simply a great value."

Today, women business owners are a key market for leading national, regional and community banks because the Center is relentless in providing and promoting the most up-to-date knowledge the banks and other industries use to drive their strategies in the women's entrepreneurship market.

"It is very exciting that we have arrived at a point where women business owners are recognized and appreciated for the very important contributions they make to the U.S. economy. The fact that we have loaned more than $32 billion is a tribute to women business owners who have allowed us to be a part of their amazing success."
Joy Ott, Regional President for Wells Fargo Bank in Montana and
Women's Business Services program national spokesperson


The Center brought the same intensity to supplier diversity, providing the hard data that ensures that major corporations include women-owned businesses in their supplier diversity programs, thereby opening doors for women-owned firms to secure contracts for their products and services.
