I wouldn’t look for loans. I would look for grants. There are a number of gov’t grants out there for women run businesses because you are considered a minority. My mother in law just applied for one, but you have to look in your area.
I work for the CIT Group we grant a lot of small business loans. I do not work in that area though. Check out our website and if you are interested locate the CIT office closest to you.

The small business admin. or a nonprofit called score. These should be in your area.

SBA has programs especially for small business women…its just a lot of paperwork…but its only 4% interest if you can get it!
In the world of government, women-owned businesses are considered minority-owned. As such, they qualify for diversity requirements which the government mandates for their contracting organizations in order to continue to work on government contracts. Locally, we have a group that advances the interests of minority-owned businesses and diversity programs. In my opinion, that would be a great place to start.
Good luck!
The Small business Association is a really good place for a loan. Its called a micro loan. This website has good info.

Union Bank of California has the best women, minority, and disabled veteran SBA funding in the nation. Let me know what state you’re in if you’d like more information.
