- Addressing the Needs of the "Micro-business" NAWBO's most recent survey shows that approximately 97% of women-owned businesses are micro-businesses. It is estimated that micro-businesses provide the lion's share of the family income, with 63% of micro-businesses businesses providing 50-100%. Unfortunately, the current definition of a micro-business is overly broad (or not distinguished from significantly larger small businesses). This lack of distinction creates barriers to participation in procurement, access to capital, and workforce issues.

California Definition of a micro-business: A micro business - a small business will automatically be designated as a micro-business, if gross annual receipts are less than $5 million dollars; or the small business is a manufacturer with 25 or fewer employees. NAWBO LA believes this focus is far too narrow. - High-Speed Internet The Digital Divide impacts society and the economy at all levels. Access is key to creating equity and impacts in: Education, Workforce Development, Economic Development, Healthcare, and Public Safety. Supporting the Broadband initiatives will increase the population of workers available to small businesses – especially workers from typically underserved communities and remote geographies.
- Accessing Capital through Increased Financial Literacy Education and Digital Tools Small business owners are suffering from a lack of access to capital. It is difficult for small business owners to access the capital needed to expand their participation in the economy (acquire equipment, space, hire staff, etc). Our new opinion polling shows an overwhelming 90% of small business owners nationwide agree the availability of capital for small businesses is a problem.
