COLUMBIA, SC – March 8, 2005 – The South Carolina Women’s Business Center (SCWBC) (www.scwbc.org) announced today a beta program in which it will provide business assessments at no charge to small companies with 25 employees or less. The program will run through August. The business assessment includes an on-site review of all processes in the company culminating in a written report providing business owners with the information they need to expand and grow their businesses. Follow-up consultative services will be provided by SCWBC business development counselors on an as-needed basis.
SCWBC is funded with a grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration and has partnerships with state technical colleges, research universities and its affiliate – the South Carolina Manufacturing Extension Partnership (SCMEP). SCWBC was formed by SCMEP (www.scmep.org) to assist the more than 128,000 existing women-owned businesses in South Carolina, as well as new female-owned ventures. SCMEP, headquartered in Columbia, SC, is a not-for-profit organization that helps manufacturers throughout the state solve business and supply chain process problems. |
