Are you a Female Entrepreneur that is in need of some extra money to fund your dream business?  Female Entrepreneurs are said to encompass approximately 1/3 of all entrepreneurs worldwide.  That is a pretty big number!  Dozens of programs, businesses, and organizations exist to help women business owners.  Take a look at the business grants below and share them out with your female business bestie friends to get the word out! 


1. Women Veteran Entrepreneur Corp Small Business Competition

Competitors simply need to present a two-minute presentation about an innovative business idea. If you are selected as the winner, you will gain access to an eight-month business training course.
