Empowering Women Entrepreneurs
One of the center's core offerings is, “one FREE consultation to anyone, man, woman or child” in addition to providing each member with unlimited one-on-one business consultation, ensuring that each member receives personalized guidance. The WBC also aims to create a sense of community through a reception area and conference rooms, mailbox panels, and even designated "chill zones" for relaxation.
