Since I've been a member of the Women's Business Center I've seen a significant difference as far as business planning, growth, budgeting, marketing, social media... the WBC will become a benefit to your business.

The WBC provides access to loans for small businesses that usually wouldn't qualify. I also applied for a grant and they helped make sure my documentation was correct. I want to grow my business to the next level, and the WBC has given me information and tools to see what that looks like, and take those next steps.
