How to Secure Funding for Your Woman-Owned Business: Essential Tips and Resources

Money, money, money....MONEH!

Have you ever wondered how to finance your passion? Maybe you don't know where to start. That's o.k.! After chatting with a client of mine, I found that she had recently applied for a grant. So, I checked it out and applied for it too! Then I went down the rabbit hole of grants and loans for women business owners and women solopreneurs. To my delight and surprise, I found TONS of options.

I recommend quite a few resources for finding money - sba.gov (Small Business Administration), Nerd Wallet, Grants.gov and others. It seems everyone is struggling with some financial component of their business, so why not get head start with some capital from a private grantor or the government? It's there. It's available. Some are free and some require payback. Do your research and get some moolah!
