Access to Capital: A Workshop for Women Business Owners

Establishing access capital when you need it is fundamental to any business. Yet, time after time, NAWBO Member surveys indicate that women don’t think they are on equal footing with their male peers (or ever will be.)

NAWBO and Bank of America are committed to changing that paradigm.

In this workshop, Stephanie Smith NMLS ID 518857, our Bank of America Corporate Partner, will present how to make your business financial life easier with real tools and ideas to help you grow your business.

Bank of America has partnered with NAWBO for 10 years, sponsoring events at both a local & national level, making millions of dollars available in both loans and grants to woman-owned businesses all over the world.

Bank of America has a clear vision of how their support of both individual businesses and NAWBO enhances progress for all.
