Come grab a bite, meet new people, and be part of an open and impactful conversation

Why the WBC is Hosting

Running a business can be isolating, and the stress of it often goes unspoken. As a nonprofit lender working with entrepreneurs every day, we wanted to use The Big Table's mission of connection to open up a conversation that doesn't happen often enough: how business ownership affects mental health, and what support can look like.

The Economic & Community Development Institute's Women's Business Centers of Ohio guide individuals at any stage of the business process. Through one-on-one counseling sessions with WBC staff and volunteers, you can get the direction and resources to meet your goals. Business advisers want to help you successfully start a business, or grow and expand your existing business -- increasing revenue and creating jobs for the local economy.

The WBCs present training workshops regularly to provide access to small business knowledge at no charge. They are the only SBA-funded Women's Business Centers in the state.
