National Women’s Business Council Issues 2019 Annual Report

December 21, 2019 imreal Leave a comment

“As the report and policy recommendations demonstrate, while we have made significant legislative and economic strides in advancing a new generation of women entrepreneurs, much work still lies ahead,” said Sara. “We will continue our efforts with a focus on our three areas of primary importance.”

WASHINGTON (PRWEB)
December 20, 2019

The National Women’s Business Council (NWBC) has submitted its 2019 Annual Report to the President, the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, the House Committee on Small Business, and the Administrator of the Small Business Administration.

This report recaps NWBC’s 31st year and provides the findings, conclusions, and policy recommendations of the Council. NWBC Chair Liz Sara, now in her second year at the helm, has concentrated its mission to strengthen women in business on three major areas: improving access to capital for female founders, encouraging more women to start and grow companies in STEM-related fields, and removing obstacles for women business owners in rural areas.

The NWBC also launched a Women in Small Business Roundtable series across the country, which convened over 300 women business owners and stakeholders from New York, NY to Nampa, ID; from St. Petersburg, FL to Los Angeles, CA. The goal was to gain a deeper insight into the challenges and overall landscape in which women founders and small business owners currently operate.

“As the report findings and policy recommendations demonstrate, while we have made significant legislative and economic strides in advancing a new generation of women entrepreneurs, much work still lies ahead,” said Sara. “That is why the work of the Council continues to be vital. In 2020, we will continue our efforts with a laser focus on our three overarching issues areas of primary importance.”

The following are some of the policy recommendations found in the report:

For improving access to capital:

One policy recommendation is to Incentivize New Investments via a Federal Angel Investment Tax Credit: The Council recommends that Congress amend the Internal Revenue Code to allow for a Federal Angel Investment Tax Credit. This would constitute a credit of up to 50% of a qualified debt or equity investment which can be claimed over the first three (3) years of an investment—up to twenty-five percent (25%) in the first tax year, fifteen percent (15%) in the second tax year, and ten percent (10%) in the third tax year—with a lifetime limit of $50,000 and applicable to each firm in which an “angel” invests.

Provide a First Employee Tax Credit to Assist Small Businesses Hiring Their First Employee: The Council also supports a First Employee Tax Credit to assist small businesses, particularly those operating in service industries, to hire their first employee. The credit should equal 25% of the W-2 wages reported, which can be claimed annually, up to $10,000 in a single tax year, with a lifetime limit of $40,000. Given that many businesses do not turn a profit in the first few years of operation, the first employee tax credit should be creditable against the business’ payroll tax liability. However, there should be no earnings cap for this credit. The credit should be designed to also help individuals living in urban areas where the cost of living is higher, as well as new market entrants in the STEM fields.

For encouraging more women in STEM-related fields:

Further engage HBCU’s Conducting R&D in SBIR Programming and Expand Outreach with Key Agencies: In light of SBA’s plans, NWBC urges the agency to work toward increasing program participation among those conducting technological innovation research at HBCUs and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). More specifically, the Council urges the agency to include the eleven (11) HBCUs, identified by the agency’s Office of Entrepreneurial Development (OED) as conducting R&D, in the SBA SBIR Road Tour, as well as develop and/or expand its outreach and coordination efforts with other federal agencies such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), to name just a few.

For removing obstacles for women in rural areas:

NWBC Supports the Development of a Playbook of Rural Case Studies: The SBA and USDA should develop an online playbook of case studies on rural entrepreneurship. Universities, local chambers of commerce, non-profits, corporations, and other relevant stakeholders are uniquely positioned to contribute informative case studies and valuable success stories, which may be showcased. Additionally, empirical data and best practices could be used to inform the creation of innovative trainings and resource programs for these particularly underserved areas. Due to the vast separation from urban hubs and the inadequate access to federal resources that strengthen them, rural communities are compelled to identify the most cost-efficient, creative solutions to economic hardships.

Awesome Ways To Get Cheaper Car Insurance Rates

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
December 20, 2019

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that presents some smart ways for lower car insurance rates.

Many drivers consider that car insurance is too expensive or they deny their importance. Disregarding a service which can potentially save drivers thousands of dollars is a huge mistake. If price is the problem, check the following tips for lowering the costs.

The driver should apply to all discounts for which he/she is eligible. Insurance companies provide a wide range of discounts. It is wise to check the discounts offered by each company before signing a contract. When getting online quotes, the user can easily check for how many discounts he is eligible and how much he will save. The most common discounts include low mileage, safety devices, safe driver, home-ownership and paying in full.

Paying in full will save around 10% off the premium’s value. Drivers are asked how often do they want to make payments. Paying for the entire policy in advance will help drivers save a lot of money. The driver can save around 5%-10% just by paying the full value. Some companies are more generous and offer a 15%-20% discount. In this case, the value of the discount will be higher than 1 monthly premium.

Set a higher level for deductibles. The policyholder is able to set the deductibles. By selecting a higher deductible level, he agrees to pay more when he files a claim. Deductibles range from $250 up to $1000 or more. In many cases, the recommended value for both comprehensive and collision coverage is $500. When getting online quotes, the client is able to set the deductibles to some predetermined values. After each change, the prices are updated and the user can view how deductibles influence the total cost.

Purchase multiple insurance services from the same company. Placing multiple vehicles or multiple belongings can be really beneficial. Besides having access to discounts, the policyholder will have to deal with less paperwork. Multi-insurance discounts vary by provider, with some companies offering as much as 20% discount for combining home and auto insurance.

Compare-autoinsurance.org is an online provider of life, home, health, and auto insurance quotes. This website is unique because it does not simply stick to one kind of insurance provider, but brings the clients the best deals from many different online insurance carriers. In this way, clients have access to offers from multiple carriers all in one place: this website. On this site, customers have access to quotes for insurance plans from various agencies, such as local or nationwide agencies, brand names insurance companies, etc.
