Australia’s only business club for women
We know that Australian women are opening businesses at a far greater rate than men – 25% increase in last 10 years - but unfortunately, the news isn’t all good!
Most of us will earn significantly less, get less funding, employ less staff and are less likely to crack the million dollar revenue mark than our male counterparts. Sadly we are also more likely to end up below the poverty line
US figures show that less than 2% of female owned businesses crack the $1mil revenue mark.
This number is significant as a reflection of deeper problems.
Over 50% of female business owners do NOT pay themselves a wage and nearly 60% do not contribute to a superannuation fund.
