What does the 5% cover?
We take 5% of every sale because we have to pay the processing companies (stripe/paypal). We are paying this fee on your behalf. The fee is dictated by Paypal/Stripe. It is the cost of doing business on the site.
Why should I join Evenest?
Being an entrepreneur does not mean you have to start, run and build a business by yourself. The smartest, most successful entrepreneurs lean on a support system of those they can rely on in order to grow their business. A business is so much more than just a product or service. Evenest has the resources to help you with all of the aspects of running a business. Not to mention, we have an incredible community of women who are all go-getters!
Is there a minimum or maximum sized business allowed on the platform?
No, there is no minimum or maximum. However, the business has to be completely independent. The business cannot be a part of a larger company.

If my business is run by my husband and I, can I join?
Yes! However, as the wife, you have to be at least 55% involved in the business, day to day operations, and/or decision making. Evenest is designed to be a platform which showcases women, their talents and their businesses. Our goal is to keep this platform for women by women.
I don’t have a business yet, but I want to start one.
Fabulous! We are here to help you. There are a few different options for women who are strategizing the best, most efficient way to start their businesses.
- For $10/month, you can have access to this platform, talk to entrepreneurs, pick their brains and utilize the community of support at Evenest.
- We have a pre-entrepreneur form available here (insert link). This form is designed specifically to help women gauge their business/industry interests, talents, and where their skills would be most effective. This form is a great tool if you know you want to be a business owner but you just don’t know where to start.
