CHICAGO -- Cole Taylor Bank will help Chicago-area businesswomen to obtain loans, in a new partnership with the Women's Business Development Center.
The $1.5 billion-asset bank will help finance women entrepreneurs participaing in the center's programs.
Most of the business owners seek loans between $20,000 and $50,000 but they may have trouble getting financing because service-sector businesses - which many women run - have fewer assets than manufacturers.
