What it is
Women Owned Business Funding, explained in plain English
Women-owned business funding refers to the financing programs and resources available to certified women-owned small businesses (WOSB) and economically disadvantaged women-owned small businesses (EDWOSB). The same SBA, conventional, and revenue-based products are available to everyone, but certification opens additional grant, federal contracting, and lender-targeted programs.
For Dallas-area women-owned businesses we'll structure the right capital stack from the standard programs (SBA, equipment, working capital, line of credit) and point you to certification, grant, and supplier-diversity resources that complement the debt financing.
Compass Lenders is not a lender. We're a Dallas-based advisory firm that places your file with the lender most likely to fund it on the best terms, and we get paid only when your deal closes.
