Women-Owned Businesses of Greater Naples Chamber

Red Gamso, Director of Marketing & Communications

Women-owned small businesses (WOSBs) are increasing in number, range, diversity and earning power. As women business owners expand their companies, they contribute to the growth of our national economy and defense.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts: Collier County, Florida we have roughly 2,171 women owned businesses right here in Collier County!

There are many benefits to supporting WOSBs such as the creation of jobs, adding revenue into the economy, and help shaping the way young girls see themselves as they grow and develop into leaders.

There are many local businesses in the Naples area, all of which aim to serve the needs of Collier residents, tourists, and visitors.
