WOMEN BUSINESS FUNDING

 

The Princess Maker Movement is dedicated to change the stats on the percentage of women-owned firms to reach 1 Million in revenue.

 

Women need grants and scholarships because despite their business and career success, they are still disadvantaged - and have been for hundreds of years. Though they make up roughly 51% of the world population, women are still a minority and face many related issues. Women are underserved and overlooked, and suffer continuously from unfair practices such as gender discrimination, gender underestimation, and even gender harassment.

 

Women grants, especially business grants for women, give them the upper hand to fight back, and prevail. This type of assistance enables them to recover from an unfair and unjust system that has existed for a long time. The concept is very similar to affirmative action initiatives that help other minority groups.

 

Business grants help women either start or expand an existing home business or non-profit organization. Education grants or scholarships help women pay for college - tuition, books, and even dorms. These types of opportunities make up the thousands of local government, federal, state, and private grants for women that are designed to give them the tools and funding they need to be successful.

A recent Forbes article, The Confidence Gap and Women Entrepreneurs, restated what is widely known in the industry: Women have less access to money for business than their male counterparts.

 

This means that fewer women are approved to borrow money from traditional lenders and that most women owned businesses are undercapitalized.

 

TPPM’s goal is to address this confidence and skills gap so women understand what it takes to successfully access credit.

The Princess Maker Movement  Fund will offer a more flexible approach to assessing your credit needs.

 

Since many of our clients will first time entrepreneurs, we help you calculate your loan needs through our consultation process.

 

This approach helps the entrepreneur understand how much financing is needed and what additional steps are needed to achieve true profitability.

 

TPMM funds women owned businesses based on sales, number of clients, contracts and the availability of other accessible resources to support the amount requested.

 

The process starts with your written plan that shows how you secure clients and based on your track record, what you project as future sales.
