Minnesota ranks fourth for female entrepreneurs, according to Fundera
5 Apr 2017
Minnesota is the fourth-best place for women entrepreneurs, according to an annual study by Fundera, the online credit matchmaker for small businesses.
Meredith Wood, a Fundera vice president, said the state’s high score was based on relatively high educational achievement by women, which plays to economic success; a five-year average revenue growth rate of 32 percent per business; high levels of interaction with U.S. Small Business Administration programs, and a low overall unemployment rate of 4 percent.
Minnesota, however, lagged in that only 14.3 percent of state businesses are owned by women with paid employees, Fundera said.
