Fast, Easy Small Business Funding for Women

Women-owned businesses experienced the fastest growth in Canada from 2005-2013, and the outlook continues to be bright. Despite this growth, female entrepreneurs are less likely to seek and receive small business funding, and firms owned by men are more likely to receive venture capital or angel funding. Many grant programs exist for women-owned businesses, but these sources can be hard to locate and eligibility criteria can be strict.

Funding can be difficult for female business owners to access through traditional lenders, and successful applicants often receive less funding with higher rates than their male counterparts. With a simpler application, faster turnaround, and flexible approval requirements, Greenbox Capital can fund more women-owned small businesses in as little as one business day. We offer several types of small business funding for women, from as little as $3,000 up to $500,000. We fund all industries, including healthcare businesses, medical practices, law firms, retail stores, business services, restaurants, and more.

Women-Owned Small Business Funding Rates

Women-owned small business funding rates depend on the type of alternative small business funding you receive. Most alternative small business funding options for women use a factor rate instead of a traditional interest rate. Factor rates are simple decimal figures that show how much “extra” you will owe on the original amount of the loan and are determined based on your risk assessment.
