​T.B.M Smallcakes. “My experience with the WWBC and the CSBDF has been such a positive one. The thought of even thinking about opening our own business was scary in itself, but to take the steps towards beginning the process was enough to make me want to tremble in fear. However, from the moment I made the phone call to Sharon at the WWBC, I knew that I had been connected with the right soul. After having being dismissed by another small business resource, before I could even explain the proposal, needless to say, I was very apprehensive and nervous. Sharon helped to take all of that away the moment I walked into her office, and she gave me such a heart-warming smile. As she sat and listened so intently as I shared my story, dream, and proposal, she did not hesitate to say "Oh Yes Brandy, we can do this! It meant the world, and at that moment I knew that although the road was not going to be easy, it still could be traveled upon. With the resources and support from Sharon & Tommy, T.B.M Smallcakes opened its doors on Oct. 15, 2016!! We not only have had a great start, but we have also been able to give back to donate to a few community events and causes, which is one of the ways we desire to impact our surrounding community. Thank You, WWBC & CSBDF, for helping to make our dream come true," told by Brandy during the WWBC Third annual Conference.

​My Sister and I, an event planning and catering company.  Andrea is a native of Asheville and the oldest of six kids. As a child, she was fortunate to have both a great grandmother and grandmother. They were both great cooks. Andrea remembers the four-layer chocolate and coconut cakes, macaroni and cheese, and cathead biscuits with homemade applesauce.  After becoming ill and retiring early from a career in business development, she decided to open her own business.  “I spoke with the great people at Carolina Small Business & Western Women’s Business Center, and the WWBC promoted our work, helped me to market my business and work on proposals and contacts. WWBC made sure they helped us grow our business by hiring us to cater for them as well,” Andrea said during the WWBC Third Annual Conference.

​Devoted Human, the brainchild of Meredith Bennett, sells handcrafted products for pet lovers through an e-commerce platform and in local shops in Asheville, NC. The company was created to help artists and artisans reach a wider audience while giving back to grassroots animal rescue organizations. Meredith sought help from the Western Women’s Business Center, where she received technical assistance in areas of finance and human resources. Being located in the A-B Tech incubator has allowed Meredith to build strong relationships not only with the team at the Western Women's Business Center but also with other business owners in the incubator. These connections have assisted the company's first-year growth and provided her with the opportunity to sponsor local events, secure key vendors, and connect with the community through a local radio show.
