Our MissionThe mission of the Western Women's Business Center (WWBC) is to provide technical assistance, capital and programs that reduce the barriers and serve as a catalyst to the success of women entrepreneurs in Western North Carolina.
The WWBC is a program of Carolina Small Business Development Fund, a statewide nonprofit Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) with a mission to foster economic development in the state of North Carolina. CSBDF provides small business loans and business services to start-ups and existing businesses in North Carolina. The WWBC meets the needs of women entrepreneurs through one-on-one business coaching and counseling, workshops, seminars, networking opportunities, and technical assistance. Business owners are offered training on a range of topics including marketing, financial management, business planning, preparing for a small business loan, industry-specific topics, and more. |
The WWBC opened its doors in July 2014 so that women-owned businesses in Western NC would be able to access the technical assistance and coaching that they need in order to start up, expand and grow their ventures.
The Western Women's Business Center is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration
