Salt Lake Chamber and SBA
Women’s Business Center of Utah was established in November 1997 as a partnership between the Salt Lake Chamber and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). Our team is lucky to be employed by the Chamber yet focused on a separate but complimentary mission; to assist women business owners statewide. With our federal funding and backing, your tax dollars are coming back around to help you, your sister, friend and daughter.
