Women own or co-own 45% of all businesses in the United States. These businesses represent all types of industries and are owned by all types of women. The majority are small, with great potential for growth in both revenues and job creation.
That’s why we created Ascent and packed it with in-depth information to help you grow your business.
Ascent is divided into major topics called Journeys, developed by experts in women’s entrepreneurship. Choose any journey to start, skip the ones you already know.
Journey One: Disaster and Economic recovery
Journey Two: Strategic Marketing
Journey Three: your People
Journey Four: Your Business Financial Strategy
Journey Five: Access to Capital
Journey Six: Government Contracting
Within each Journey, you’ll find Excursions with the tools you need to master a topic. Each excursion includes a time estimate for completion. You’re the boss of when and how to apply these tools to your business.
