Acquisition International - Issue 10 2020 45 Aug20231 reated by founder and CEO Karin Klock, WomenOwnedBiz.org is the realization of a goal to have a website that doubles as a one-stop-shop that makes it easier than ever before for people to find and support women-owned businesses. Supporting these women-owned businesses can take many firms, but chief amongst them is financial support. The website allows visitors to search for these businesses, and subsequently boost their economic opportunity. The best part about the WomenOwnedBiz.org is unquestionably the fact that it is free, and accessible all over the world. It has never been easier to get online and support a local business. At the core of WomenOwnedBiz.org is three pillars: its mission, its vision, and its business objective. The mission is to further gender equality by advancing the economic opportunities that women in business have for success. Similarly to that, but distinctive enough to be a separate pillar of the website, the vision of WomenOwnedBiz.org is to provide female entrepreneurs with all the necessary tools and support to be economically successful. Finally, the business objective of the website is to connect and promote female entrepreneurs all over the world. Collaborating with one another, these businesses can reach astronomical heights of success, and become even greater than initially thought. What is it though, that has made WomenOwnedBiz.org so successful. Well, for starters, it is the only female-focused business directory that offers female business owners the opportunity to select a demographic of their choosing. For the small, women-owned businesses who may not have the resources to access the market to promote themselves, WomenOwnedBiz.org provides a website and directory at no cost that can do it for them. Unlike various other organizations that support women-led businesses, WomenOwnedBiz.org is the only one to offer a robust, searchable international database, a user-friendly website with integrated marketing activity, and free access to these resources because of great sponsorship. There are all manner of businesses in the world today that are owned and operated by women, and WomenOwnedBiz.org exists to serve them all. Whether they be small, medium, large, or global businesses, the website is a place for them all to come together and celebrated in a directory that showcases their greatest skills and assets. The whole website was built on a foundation of inclusion, safety, and welcoming, and the culture is one of openness, strength, and diversity. Together, this website and its target of women-owned businesses is slowly but surely building a community where people can come together to C The world has taken a great many steps in recent years to support women in business, and women-owned businesses, but there is still much to be done. Supporting these businesses is as important as ever, and one website has become a go-to for information on how to support them in the best way possible.
