Women entrepreneurs face unique challenges when starting businesses, from lack of funding to difficulty finding mentors and partners. Women’s business centers aim to help female small business owners navigate these challenges and create thriving companies by providing education and resources.
What Exactly is a Women’s Business Development Center?
A woman’s small business center is a local office that’s part of a national network of business development facilities overseen by the U.S. Small Business Administration. Services may vary at each location, but they generally offer resources for women-owned small businesses like training, coaching, funding access, and helping to apply for federal government contracts.
