The South Florida Business Journal’s annual lists celebrates local businesses that significantly contribute to the South Florida community. The selection process encompasses various criteria, including revenue growth, financial stability, and community involvement.
The South Florida Business Journal writes:
“… Fifteen percent of respondents said they are responsible for more than 250 employees, compared to 5% who reported that number in 2024. The survey results indicate women leaders are making smart decisions for their companies and themselves, and they’re doing it here in Florida. Florida’s professional services, manufacturing, technology and non-profit industries have the highest share of women-owned businesses, according to the survey. Twenty-nine percent of the state’s professional services firms are led by women, followed by 9.3% of non-profits and 8.9% of manufacturing firms. Female entrepreneurs reported they still face multiple challenges, with lack of venture capital funding, pay inequality and gender discrimination among the most-reported.”
