W ASHINGTON, D .C .-T h e num
ber of women-owned businesses
continues its long-term growth, ac
cording to new governm ent figures.
The Internal Revenue Service
recently published 1986 figures for
women-owned sole proprietorships.
Between 1980 and 1986 the number
of women-owned sole proprietorships
grew from 2.5 to 4.1 million, an in
crease of 64 percent. During the same
penod, business receipts doubled from
$36 to $72 billion.
James Abdnor, Administrator of
the Small Business Administration
(SBA), in comm enting on the new
figures, said, “ W omen-owned busi
nesses are currently the fastest grow
ing segment of the economy and I
believe that what we are seeing today
i is just the beginning. As these busi
nesses mature, their share of the
market and of total sales is also ex-
| pected to increase."
Between 1985 and 1986 the num
ber and receipts of women-owned
sole proprietorships increased by ten
percent. The number of women-owned
firms increased from 3.7 to 4.1 million
and receipts increased from $65 to
| $72 billion.
Another plus is that women’s share
I of all sole proprietorships and re-
Iceipts also increased from 1985 lev-
I els, from 28 percent to 30 percent and
112 to 13 percent respectively.
Carol M. Crockett, director of SBA’s
I Office of W om en’s Business Owner-
|ship, said, "These figures are very

this chart:
No matter how you stack it, renting
simply can’t measure up to the advantages
of buying a HUD home.
Because HUD offers homes w ith a low
3% down payment. FHA Mortgage Insur
ance. And the investment opportunity of
buying property that’s priced to be an out
standing value.
Plus, consider this: Over 12 year’s
time, $350 in m onthly rent adds up to
more than $50,000. Many HUD homes
cost less.

You'll discover that owning your own
home isn’t such a tall order after all.
