Wisconsin Womens Business Initiative Corporation

"WWBIC has been an invaluable asset for me as a new business owner. Besides providing the financing to open my restaurant, the organization has provided great assistance to me even after I opened my doors. They've counseled me on issues ranging from bookkeeping to marketing to staff management. If their business assistance coordinator couldn't answer my questions, WWBIC has a list of volunteers they've referred me to who have helped me get the answers I need."

The Wisconsin Women’s Business Initiative Corporation (WWBIC) is a statewide economic development organization focused on business creation, expansion, and sustainability, and job creation and retention in both urban and rural areas.  We provide access to capital including direct lending, one-on-one business assistance, business education, and financial awareness education programming.  Our services are open to anyone in Wisconsin, but our mission emphasis is women, people of color, and people of lower wealth and incomes – those most likely to be underserved by traditional financial institutions.
