Small businesses need resources now more than ever. Even though we can’t meet face to face, we’re offering our same strong commitment to providing education, training and access to capital. Sign up here to receive notice about virtual classes and coaching sessions.

The Women’s Business Centers of Ohio are located in Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati.  They are initiatives of the Economic & Community Development Institute and are the only SBA-funded Women’s Business Centers in the state.

The WBC at each location can guide individuals at any stage of the business process.  Through one-on-one counseling sessions with WBC staff and volunteers, you can get the direction and resources to meet your goals. Business advisors want to help you successfully start a business, or grow and expand your existing business -- increasing revenue and creating jobs for the local economy.

For a nominal annual membership fee, the WBC provides the following resources on location and/or at locations throughout the community.

• Access to a resource library, computer lab, and free wireless internet
• Business coaching, mentoring, and one-on-one counseling
• Training and workshop programs
• Networking opportunities
• Access to small business loans through ECDI
• Copy, fax and notary service
