EVB, a community bank serving New Kent/Charles City, has launched POWER (Potential of Women Entrepreneurs Realized), a product line designed to help spur revenue growth of its women-owned business customers.

EVB is the first community bank in Virginia to offer a business program tailored specifically for women business owners.

State and national statistics are showing women starting businesses at a faster rate than ever before – yet at the same time, they often face hurdles from lack of capital and a lack of support network. POWER is designed to provide women business owners with solutions to these hurdles.

The SBA estimates there are 210,000 women-owned businesses in Virginia. For more information, visit http://evbpower.com.
