Women Lead Trend on Home Businesses. Did you know?

Women and minorities are leading the trend of creating home-based businesses at a time when, up until now, white males dominated the frontiers of business.

# Women own approximately 66% of home-based businesses.

# Seventy-three percent of women-owned businesses are run out of the home.

# Between 68% and 70% of women's home-based businesses will survive over a three-year period.

# Home-based women business owners are technologically savvy. In fact, home-based women-owned businesses are just as technologically savvy as other busineeses with over half (56%) having at least one computer and nearly four in 10 (39%) owning more than one. Two-thirds (66%) have a computer fax/modem, 55% use a cell phone.

# Home-based women-owned businesses in the US number 3.5 million and provide full or part-time employment for an estimated 14 million people. In today's economy, home-based businesses are a growth industry to watch.
