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
