"Your Retirement Plan Should Be Your Power, Not a Partner" – Founder of Queen of Wraps Launches Movement to Close the Gender Wealth Gap

Salt Lake City, UT — March 26, 2025 — Fresh off the seven-figure sale of her pioneering vehicle wrap company, Heather Griffith Barber is doubling down on her mission to rewrite the rules of wealth creation for women. Today, the entrepreneur and author announces two bold initiatives: the release of her memoir That's a Wrap: Strategies for Anchoring and Achieving Your Goals from the Queen (https://amzn.to/4c6aPdC) and the launch of Buy-Scale-Sell.com, a platform designed to create 20 female millionaires by 2030 through strategic business acquisitions.

From Scrappy Startup to Seven-Figure Exit – A Blueprint for Women
Barber's journey began at 23 when she founded Queen of Wraps, transforming it into Utah's largest vehicle wrap company before selling to Banner Capital in 2024. Her memoir, That's a Wrap, delivers a no-holds-barred playbook for women navigating male-dominated industries, combining gritty startup lessons with actionable frameworks for scaling and exiting businesses.

More on The Californer

"I built Queen of Wraps to prove women belong in 'unconventional' industries—and sold it to fund a bigger vision," says Barber, a mother of two daughters. "Why should financial freedom hinge on who you marry? We're teaching women to build empires, not hope for inheritances."

Heather's personal mission: 20 Female Millionaires in Five Years
Through Buy-Scale-Sell.com, Barber is tackling two urgent crises:

The $93 Trillion "Silver Tsunami": With 10,000 Baby Boomers retiring daily, over 12 million U.S. businesses will hit the market by 2030.
The Gender Wealth Gap: Women own just 21% of businesses valued at $1M+, and only 2.4% of private equity-funded startups are female-led.

"This isn't charity—it's strategy," Barber explains. "Women are vastly underrepresented in business acquisitions, yet they dominate industries primed for growth: healthcare, education, and sustainable services. We're arming them to seize this $93T opportunity."

The platform offers:
✅ Proprietary valuation software to find those diamonds in the rough.
✅ Mastermind Groups: Peer support for buying, scaling and selling.
✅ 1:1 Coaching: Barber's team of M&A advisors and serial entrepreneurs.

Why This Story Matters Now

Female Entrepreneurship Surge: Women are starting businesses 2x faster than men but face a 50% smaller funding pipeline.
Retirement Wave: 60% of small business owners lack succession plans, creating a buyer's market for first-time acquirers.
Barber's Credibility: 20 years scaling Queen of Wraps to 7 figures, validated by Banner Capital's acquisition.

Media Note: Barber is available for interviews to discuss:

Her plan to close the gender wealth gap through acquisitions.
Why women are uniquely positioned to capitalize on the Silver Tsunami.
How policymakers can support female entrepreneurship.
