Women business owners mentor teens

Young women look to experts for business advice.
Today's economy is very different from what business owners grew to know just one year ago. It's become increasingly difficult to obtain financing for a new business or to help fund growth plans.

Many experts tout the importance of having a solid business plan and strategic goals set for a small business to help ensure long-term success. Women-owned businesses in many areas of the country are managing through the economic storm and being recognized for their achievements.

Many of these women business owners are eager to mentor other females on how to successfully manage a small business.

In Chicago, 50 young girls between the ages of 12 and 18 will have the chance to learn from local women business leaders and National Association of Women's Business Owners about running and growing a small firm.

"For Chicago-area women business owners, it's a chance to encourage, educate and recognize the potential of these young women as future business owners and leaders," said Kathy Readinger of Guardian, a co-sponsor of the women in business event.

What Our Clients Say

Risk-Free Guarantee

In our very first conversation I noticed that you not only understood our situation, but also the Oil & Gas trade. Capital Solutions has been an invaluable help... We have grown our business exponentially thanks to you. I can now probably qualify for a traditional line of credit (...but I'm not sure I want to).

Almost a year has gone by and I can confirm Capital Solutions has been true to the saying 'under-promise and over-deliver'... I have tripled (repeat, tripled!) my business... thanks to the fact that I can make sales and customer service the central point of my every-day. I also appreciate your experience and the unobtrusive way you deal with my clients.
