We’re here to fill you in! Keep reading  GSA schedule holder    below to learn about some of the top businesses owned by women!

1. Lime Ricki
Lime Ricki is a swimsuit business founded by three sisters: Nicole, Jennifer, and Colette Anderson.

The Anderson sisters all had backgrounds as swim instructors as young adults.

As adults, they were frustrated with difficult swimsuit-shopping experiences.

They went on a mission to develop swimsuits that they felt comfortable in.

After a small launch in 2007 was received well, the Anderson sisters began to build Lime Ricki.

The business is run solely by women and is committed to responsibly manufacturing its products in Los Angeles.

2. Emi-Jay
It’s simpler to find up-and-coming women owned businesses than you may think. Websites like Minority Base give you the chance to search for local minority and women owned businesses.

After all, many of these business owners never dream of selling their products anywhere but locally.

At least, that’s what the founders of Emi-Jay assumed when they began making products for their friends.

Emi-Jay is a hair accessory business run by Julianne Goldmark and Emily Matson.

In 2009, when the Los Angeles-based duo were still teenagers in high school, they began dyeing hair ties for fun.

Emily’s mother got in touch with Chris McMillan, a popular hairstylist who was searching for quality hair accessories that wouldn’t leave residual damage.

He recommended a piece to his client, the famous Jennifer Anniston, and Emi-Jay exploded in popularity.

Over ten years later, the two women now run a full-scale business.

They’ve collaborated with big names like Nordstrom and Spanx, and they’re more dedicated than ever to creating trendy hair accessories with sustainable fabrics!
