Meet Your Business Advisors
Pulling from their own experience, our business advisors can help seasoned and aspiring women business owners alike. To get started, create a client profile and then request a session.
WBCUtah is able to offer individualized women-focused business advising at no cost to you because the expense is covered by taxpayer dollars through SBA grants and other funders.
NO SHOWS: When you miss an appointment, our talented advisor’s time is wasted, which could have been utilized in assisting another woman business owner. If you are unable to make your appointment, please be courteous and cancel or reschedule at the earliest moment possible. If you no show more than twice we reserve the right to discontinue free advising to you.
