DeKalb is shining a spotlight on local entrepreneurship with the launch of the DeKalb Women-Owned Business Guide, an initiative led by Decide DeKalb to celebrate and support our very own women business leaders. This effort is fitting as we bring in International Women’s History Month for 2026.

With more than 3,900 women-owned businesses operating in DeKalb County, this guide will connect residents with local businesses across industries including food, beauty, arts, professional services, education, and real estate.

Women-owned businesses based in DeKalb County are encouraged to apply. To qualify, businesses must have a valid business license, a website, and at least one active social media account.

Applications will be accepted throughout March, and the guide will be released May 4 to kick off Economic Development Week.
