BizFilings Celebrates American Business Women?s Day on September 22

Posted on by

Madison, WI (PRWEB) September 20, 2011

With more than 8 million women business owners in the United States, BizFilings, a leader in online incorporation services, recognizes ?American Business Women?s Day,? celebrating the women-owned businesses that drive economic growth and innovation, and encouraging women nationwide to become inspired and start a business of their own.

American Business Women?s Day came into existence due to the work of the American Business Women?s Association (ABWA), a national education association designed to celebrate and promote American working women. The ABWA was incorporated on September 22, 1949, by Hilary A. Bufton Jr., a Kansas City, Mo., businessman, and three Kansas City businesswomen. In 1986, September 22 was recognized by President Ronald Reagan as American Business Women?s Day to celebrate the contributions that women had made to the economy.

The mission and spirit of the ABWA may be part of the reason that women in business continue to thrive. Currently, American women-owned businesses are on the rise, and their growth rivals that of their male counterparts. Since 1997 the number of women-owned businesses has increased by 50 percent, double the rate of men-owned firms.

Women entrepreneurs looking to add to this trend by starting their own businesses should be aware that we have special financial programs, tax breaks, and business assistance available to them. Women-owned businesses looking for a loan will find that there are certain programs developed by the Small Business Administration (http://www.sba.gov) to help secure funding. Women-owned businesses may qualify for certain tax advantages as long as the ownership is 51 percent female. In addition to these benefits, there are a multitude of other tax advantages, such as payroll deductions, health insurance deductions, and income deductions available to businesses who file for incorporation.

?Women-owned businesses are a large part of this country?s economic success, and we are proud to support their growth and development,? says Karen Kobelski, a member of the leadership team at BizFilings. ?As women are getting their businesses started, incorporating?be it an LLC, S Corp, or C Corp?is an important step, as it helps protect their family’s personal assets, can provide certain tax advantages, and can help establish credibility that will help build their businesses.?

BizFilings is a leading provider of incorporation in the U.S. and helps thousands of businesses get started through its business filing and registered agent service. Visit the BizFilings online learning center to learn more about the benefits of incorporation.

Guy Brown Products Earns Women’s Business Enterprise Certification

Posted on by

(PRWEB) August 10, 2011

In June 2011 Guy Brown Products announced that Tera Vazquez had become majority owner of the company with 51 percent of the ownership. Now, with Vazquez president and CEO, and now majority owner, Guy Brown Products has earned the coveted certification of Women?s Business Enterprise from the Women?s Business Enterprise National Business Council.

Hundreds of major corporations turn to the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council to identify women owned businesses to satisfy their contract needs because WBENC issues a Gold Standard, national certification to women owned businesses to ensure a qualified database of WBENC Certified Women Business Enterprises (WBEs).

According to Vazquez, ?We are delighted to have secured this new certification from WBENC. This adds another opportunity to reach major clients wanting to do business with a solid minority-owned company.?

WBENC Certification validates that the business is 51 percent owned, controlled, operated, and managed by a woman or women. To achieve WBENC Certification, women owned businesses complete a formal documentation and site visit process which is administered by one of WBENC’s 14 Regional Partner Organizations. WBENC Certification gives women owned businesses the ability to compete for real-time business opportunities provided by WBENC Corporate Members.

Guy Brown continues to retain their prior Minority Business Enterprise certifications and Small Disadvantaged Business designation as the company is still 100 percent minority owned.

Business Blogging Gets Easier for Professionals

Posted on by

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) September 15, 2005

A step by step guide for creating a professional business blog has been updated and published, making it easier for independent professionals and business owners to reach more clients through the Internet. The second edition of “Build a Better Blog: The Ultimate Guide for Boosting Your Business with a Professional Blog” was published online today at http://www.BuildaBetterBlogSystem.com.

Blogs, or weblogs, are easily updated web pages that can create customer dialogue through interactive postings. Smart business professionals—from CEOs of Fortune 100 companies down to the corner bakery owner—have started using blogs to communicate in a personal way and to give a human voice from behind the office doors.

Because they are inexpensive and easy to use (no tech skills required), blogs offer several distinct advantages for independent professionals and small business owners. Now everyone can have a voice on the Internet and capture the hearts and minds of potential customers.

Patsi Krakoff, Psy.D. and Denise Wakeman, internet marketing specialists now known as The Blog Squad, have teamed up to offer detailed tutorials on how to set up a business blog using Typepad.com (http://www.typepad.com) to illustrate the steps. The system is complete with screen shots showing exactly what to do every step of the way.

“We think it is important that professionals concentrate on writing quality content and not waste time learning how to set up and design a blog,” says Dr. Krakoff, of http://www.CustomizedNewsletters.com. “The Build a Better Blog ebook significantly shortens the learning curve so busy professionals can spend their time and energies creating good customer relationships through blog articles.”

“Blogs are so easy to set up that anybody can do it. However a business blog needs to reflect the professional nature of your company and business services,” adds Denise Wakeman, of Next Level Partnership (http://www.biztipsblog.com). “Why use a cookie-cutter template when you can design your business blog to complement your company’s visual identity? Most people don’t know how to use the features available to them – we show them how in this book.”

Besides step-by-step tutorials on everything from how to import your business banner, rename your blog, and add subscriber sign-up forms, to submitting your blog to directories, there are many tips for attracting readers and driving traffic to your blog. Tutorials are accompanied by articles on effective blog writing, a list of blog resources, and examples of effective business blogs.

This new edition contains 90 percent new screen shots that include the latest upgrades in blogging software, new sections on protecting your intellectual property, and how to avoid 17 mistakes that most business blogs make.

One of the most valuable features of the ebook is the companion ebook of 25 interviews with successful business bloggers, many of whom have blogs with huge numbers of followers. They each provide insights on how they grew their blogs and achieved remarkable success in a short time.

Krakoff and Wakeman publish a companion blog at http://www.buildabetterblog.com and offer blog design and marketing services for those professionals who don’t want to set up a blog themselves. (http://www.buildabetterblogservices.com). They also revamp existing business blogs through the site http://www.fixmyblog.com. Between them, they have 9 blogs they post to on a regular basis, covering topics from Internet marketing, blogging, ezine marketing and business book reviews.
