The close of Women's Small Business Month is a good time to take stock of the state of women-owned firms in the U.S.
As we know from a previous report from National Women’s Business Council, there were 9.9 million women-owned businesses, or 36% of all nonfarm businesses, according to the most recent U.S. Census data count in 2012. That represents a 27.5% increase from five years prior.
