Celebrating Business Growth

Momentous Milestones

Launching a business is an enormous accomplishment. After this initial leap, business owners achieve many more milestones on their journey– each a mark of incredible courage and perseverance.

Business Growth to Build Wealth

Visible milestones – opening a storefront or hiring an employee – are often indicators of other important achievements. Hitting hidden milestones like business revenue growth is critical to business owners’ ability to build financial security and real wealth.

The $250,000 Threshold

“Growth in both employment and revenues begins to take off for women-owned businesses when they reach $250,000 in revenues,” according to the 2018 SOWB Report. At this stage, a business not only promotes the financial well-being of the owner but begins to realize benefits of scale.

The Magic of $1 Million

Businesses generating over $1 million in annual revenue are the vast minority – making up less than 2% of women-owned businesses in the U.S. – yet they account for a majority of total job creation and revenue. These economic powerhouses generate wealth for their owners and return great dividends to the broader economy.
