Women-owned businesses face challenges but support is available
Women who open businesses face many challenges. But help is out there.
NEW YORK - A passion for baking bread consumed Amy Scherber s dreams until she decided to open up her very own bakery 29 years ago this month. The bread is made at a commercial bakery in Long Island City in Queens and sold at locations like Amy s Bread in Hell s Kitchen. When she first started out very few women-owned businesses in New York City. In the beginning, when I first started, all the things, how you run a bakery, everything, was made for men, Scherber said. It was all very large-scale the equipment, the bags of flour were 100-pound bags, and all these things weren t scaled for women-run business and all my staff was all women so I worked to find different vendors that would have smaller things.
