Simply put... women business owners mean business.
To help you land more clients from this market, Allianz Life conducted the 2023 Women-Owned 6 Small Business Study. And what we found was revealing.
Nearly a quarter of women business owners are not currently working with a financial professional. But know this: 92% say it’s important their financial professional has experience and knowledge in issues specifically related to women-owned businesses.
But what kind of issues?

Women business owners often say they’re concerned about a recession or a significant market 19 downturn and the difficulty in attracting and recruiting key employees.
Women-owned small businesses are less likely to have employee retention benefits like an executive bonus plan or company-paid life insurance. And more than half of women business owners do not have a plan for selling or transferring ownership.
But you have a potential solution. Fixed index universal life insurance can help with all of these concerns with its death benefit protection, tax-deferred accumulation potential, and options for loan and withdrawals which are generally income tax free.
And just as important, the policy has the flexibility to adapt as needs change.
Women business owners mean business so show them that you mean business, too.
