For 30 years, WeBC has been a vital resource for women entrepreneurs across British Columbia, offering financing<\/a>, training<\/a>, and mentorship<\/a> to help businesses thrive. Recognizing the need to measure its impact, WeBC conducted this Impact Study to assess its effectiveness during the 5-year period from 2019 to 2024, and identify opportunities for growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This five-year impact report reveals a powerful truth: empowering women entrepreneurs isn\u2019t just a
mission\u2014it\u2019s a movement that can redefine Canada\u2019s economic future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the next 5 years, Canadian women will control nearly $4 trillion in assets (CIBC Capital Markets Report), igniting a historic wealth transfer that demands bold action. With women making up 38 percent of B.C.\u2019s self-employed individuals, there’s an untapped economic opportunity waiting to be unlocked\u2014potential that can reshape Canada\u2019s economy, fuel job growth, and strengthen communities across the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite their immense economic potential, women entrepreneurs continue to face systemic barriers of access to capital and resources. WeBC exists to change that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This report shows that women entrepreneurs who access WeBC programs consistently outperform national averages for small business survival, revenue growth, and job creation, thanks to the support we provide. The $8.5 million that WeBC has distributed in loans over the past five years has generated roughly $223 million in incremental revenue, over $131 million in economic impact, and 3,700 incremental person years of employment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every dollar lent by WeBC creates $15.44 in economic impact. And every dollar invested in WeBC\u2019s support programs generates a 26x return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
