Until further notice, the WBC will not host any face to face workshops and the center will be closed for members.

All workshops are postponed until late Spring 2020.

Additionally, our coaching sessions will take place via appointment only. We can make accommodations for coaching via phone, Zoom conferencing or Skype. If you have a scheduled appointment, a team member will reach out to you to make necessary arrangements. To schedule a one-on-one coaching session please contact your local WBC.

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
