The Wisconsin Women's Business Initiative Corporation (WWBIC) is an economic development corporation providing quality business education, technical assistance and access to capital for entrepreneurs. Established in 1989, WWBIC consults, educates and mentors owners of small and micro businesses throughout Wisconsin. We concentrate our efforts with women, people of color and those of lower incomes. Since its inception, WWBIC has served over 20,000 individuals, directly financed over 500 business start-ups, supported over 150 business expansions and assisted in creating over 1,250 jobs in Wisconsin. Each year, WWBIC increases its impact across the state through the hard work of a 20-person staff and a corps of dedicated volunteers. The Wisconsin Women's Business Initiative Corporation is partially funded by a grant from The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) in addition to donations from corporate sponsors, foundations, and private contributors. WWBIC receives money from the SBA’s Micro Loan Program and its Office of Women's Business Ownership (OWBO). OWBO provides programs to support women entrepreneurs from business start-up to expansion through a variety of services and resources.
