Leading Lenders

Leading Lenders provides a free online toolkit, a blog and other dynamic content for employees of lending institutions who are supporting women entrepreneurs towards success. With only 16% of Canadian small and medium-sized businesses majority women-owned, there is both a need to close that gap and a significant opportunity to increase the overall volume of entrepreneurs. The objective of Leading Lenders is to share the latest information with lenders about the challenges relating to women pursuing business financing. The long-term goal is to increase the volume of women entrepreneurs — a win-win for everyone.
