Women in Business: A Path to Success

Cisco helps women in business reach their goals

Cisco is committed to helping women business owners overcome any challenge, from balancing work and play to installing their first network.

That's why Cisco is the technology sponsor for the Make Mine a Million $ Business, a program that is helping women by offering business loans to qualified applicants.

Incentives for women to continue on the path to success

The Make Mine a Million $ Business program is designed specifically to serve the needs of women in business and aims to build a community of one million women-owned businesses earning $1 million or more in annual revenue by 2010.

As a sponsor, Cisco will help women succeed by donating a Smart Business Communications System to the program's awardees. Awardees are also eligible to receive:

• A line of credit exclusively for women in business courtesy of OPEN from American Express
• Inspiration, community, coaching, and mentoring from Count Me In, the leading national non-profit provider of online business loans for women
• Powerful marketing and technical support to promote and grow a business into a million-dollar enterprise within two years
