The SBA has launched a new website targeted at women business owners. Called My Biz for Women, the website includes links to data and research and how to sections on access to capital and gaining contracts.

Read more about the website and women business owners who have used it in an article published in the ElPasoTimes this week:

MY BIZ for Women is designed to be the first step for all women business owners, said Adrian Madrigal, SBA spokesman. The Web site connects women business owners "with the best resources the government has to offer," he said.

Included in the information provided are how to start and grow a small business, how to gain access to capital and contracting opportunities and links to other government agencies and SBA resource partners, Madrigal said.


The site compliments other sites already available including the SBA's Online Women's Business Center and WomenBiz.gov, the gateway for women owned businesses selling to the federal government.
