West Virginia Women’s Business Center – Fairmont

The West Virginia Women’s Business Center offers individualized services to meet entrepreneurs of all backgrounds, ages, and levels of experience exactly where they’re at: whether they’re looking to launch a business or scale up.

About

At the West Virginia Women’s Business Center (WV WBC), we work hand-in-hand with entrepreneurs to discover their own definition of success and achieve it.
 
With locations in Charleston and Fairmont, the WV WBC serves all 55 of the state’s counties and exists to support anyone with a dream or idea, regardless of background, age, or previous experience, with the resources they need to succeed. In particular, we’re focused on providing services to women, people of color, and other groups that traditionally face extra barriers to starting and growing businesses of their own.
 
Because we understand that no two business journeys will look alike, we offer individualized services to meet entrepreneurs exactly where they’re at: whether they’re looking to launch a business or level up. Our services include one-on-one counseling with experienced business advisors, online and in-person training, and assistance obtaining funding and financing.
 
Whatever the vision, we’ve got the tools to make it happen.
