WASHINGTON, May 8, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Today, the National Association of Women
Business Owners (NAWBO) and ADP released the results of a
survey of women business owners. Nearly 92% of women-owned
businesses are microbusinesses, businesses with fewer than 25
employees. While the businesses may be small, they provide the
lion's share of the family income, with 63% of the business owners
providing 50-100% of the household income. By giving these
businesses the resources to grow, we will see an opportunity to
increase wealth in our most underserved populations.
According to NAWBO's most recent survey,
nearly 92% of women-owned businesses are microbusinesses.
"Women business owners are the drivers of our nation's economy
and the leaders in our communities," said Karen Bennetts, NAWBO National Board Chair. "By
supporting women business owners and providing them with the
necessary resources, we are building the bridge to wealth creation,
allowing them to grow and scale their businesses. We appreciate the
support of great companies like ADP who recognize this vital
section of the American economy."
"ADP is proud of our partnership and of supporting women-owned
businesses and organizations, like NAWBO, that help propel women
entrepreneurs into economic, social and political spheres of power
worldwide. Women-owned businesses create a huge impact on our
economy and we recognize the importance of supporting and
partnering with organizations like NAWBO so that we can help
further their opportunities for success," said Laci Buzzelli, Senior Vice President of Sales
for ADP Small Business Services.

which covers the reference year 2020, women-owned 1.24 million
