PITTSFIELD, Mass. -- (Business Wire)
Berkshire Bank, America’s Most Exciting BankSM, announced
today that it has been named the “#1 Lender to Women in the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts” by the Small Business Association (SBA) of
Massachusetts. Berkshire was recognized by the SBA for awarding 53
percent of its SBA program loans to women-owned enterprises.
“According to the SBA, there are an estimated 10 million women-owned,
privately-held U.S. businesses; however, the greatest challenge for
these firms is access to capital, credit and equity,” said Michael P.
Daly, President & CEO of Berkshire Bank. “We are honored to have a part
in this growing trend, but we are only a small part of the equation and
the real winners are the female entrepreneurs furthering their dreams of
business ownership or expansion.”
