What is a Women's Business Center?
A Women’s Business Center (WBC) is a counseling and training program for women seeking to start or grow a business. Each WBC is unique; they connect their clients with capital (funding) and other resources specific to their local community.
WBCs offer a variety of services tailored to the needs of the communities they serve, including training in finance, management and marketing.
The Role of the AWBC
Since 1998, the Association of Women's Business Centers (AWBC) has aggregated the voices of Women's Business Centers to advocate on behalf of this incredibly successful program to the United States Congress, the SBA and other agencies.
In addition to helping secure additional funding for the Women's Business Center Program, AWBC works to expand the capacity of Women's Business Centers and the Program as a whole to serve more enterprising women.
There are hundreds of WBCs all over the country!
