An Invitation to Female Small Business Owners: Survival.
I recently posted an entry to this blog asking, “Where are all the women small business owners experiencing financial trauma from the downturned economy?” My question was based on the following observations:
I have fewer female small business owners than male owners calling in for advice, council and possibly seeking our representation. I say this because women play a major role in small business development, and represent a significant portion of the small business world. The downturned economy has resulted in approximately 15-20% failure rate on SBA loans. This must mean that a sizable number of woman-owned small businesses must be confronting default and failure. Yet we are not getting an appropriate number of women in business confronting default by calling us to discuss workout strategies that will reduce their debt, preserve their business assets and further reduce their personal guaranties, allowing them to survive this economic and business downturn.
My last post resulted in an increase in female small business owners in default calling in for information and consulting. Great news! We can help protect and save more women business owners. We want to. You play a very important role in our economy and society and deserve the protection and support we can provide.
Now I invite you, implore you, urge you to call for information and you will possibly discover the type of help you need. There is no need to accept the fallout from the failing economy–reduced revenues and crushing debt. There are viable alternatives that result in survival and emergence.
I invite you to call in and talk with us. Let us explain your options. We have answers.
Call Norm at 413-584-2581 and he will arrange a no-obligation teleconference to discuss our strategies and your options. Call us.

I have to admit I do find that my female business friends do seem to be handling the downturn much better than my male friends. This could be due to the types of business they are running and the markets they are involved in. Women I know, tend to be involved in more retail industries that target women and women just keep on buying things they need.
