Woman-Owned Businesses

Calabasas Capital has a long history of success representing woman-owned businesses in M&A and capital raising transactions.   Approximately half of our transactions have been with woman-owned businesses over the years.  In general, we find woman-owned businesses to be very well prepared for a transaction.  We notice that there is more often a deeper management team in place with a woman owner than with a male owner.  Women leaders seem to be able to hire and keep key employees better than their male counterparts. Women owners are also more open to advice and tend to follow the guidance of their advisors more than men do.    I find that woman-business owners have a higher emotional IQ than men (my wife reminds me of this often) do which is key to their success in business in many ways.

The statistics also show that woman-owned businesses grow at a faster rate than men-owned businesses.
