As independent advisors to the President, Congress, and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), the National Women’s Business Council (NWBC) is required to provide an annual report on its work and recommendations for optimizing the economic potential of women-owned small businesses.

The NWBC spent the past year conducting research and engaging in numerous discussions with the women’s business community to determine the best policy and program recommendations it could make. We invite you to read our entire report to better understand the landscape of women-owned businesses and the recommendations made.
