From the supplier: Banks are increasingly lending their support for women-owned business enterprises in the form of much-needed loans and guidance. Bank officials explain that such trend is driven by the fact that the scope and strength of women-owned businesses are growing at an accelerated rate. As of 1993, women-owned firms account for 30% of all businesses and are expected to grow to 50% by the year 2000. However, the National Assn of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) reports that this sector remains to be underserved by banks. To address this situation, NAWBO and other similar organizations conduct educational programs to help women establish financial relationships and support network. For their part, some banks support women's organizations and also conduct seminars for education and technical assistance. Programs of five banks targeting women-owned business are profiled.
