SBCOE | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Washington, D.C. - Women in Wyoming looking to start a business in the state just got a boost from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), according to U.S. Senators Mike Enzi, John Barrasso, and Representative Cynthia Lummis, all R-Wyo. The Wyoming Women's Business Center (WWBC) was awarded $150,000 from the SBA on Sept. 14.

The delegation wrote a letter of support for the center to receive the grant and asked the SBA to place an emphasis on women's entrepreneurship.

"Women-owned businesses are a vital and growing part of Wyoming's economy. There has been a lot of support for the Wyoming Women's Business Center, making it a crucial resource to women entrepreneurs across the entire state," Enzi said. "Women-owned businesses in Wyoming depend on the WWBC and our state's economy depends on their business."

"The Wyoming Women's Business Center will continue to ensure that every woman who owns a small business in Wyoming - or any woman who dreams of owning one - has access to the tools they need for their business to be a success," Barrasso said.

"The Wyoming Women's Business Center plays a vital role in our state's growth and economic vitality," Lummis said. "Women-owned businesses in Wyoming are growing faster and larger every year. This grant will go a long way in allowing the WWBC to continue helping those businesses expand and flourish."

The WWBC is expected to remain state-funded. The funding from the grant will allow the center to greatly increase the economic independence and self sufficiency of women and their families through self-employment nurtured by community support, outreach and partnership. The grant will provide the WWBC with the needed working capital to continue their mission of assisting women-owned small businesses statewide.

In 2007, WWBC Executive Director Rosemary Bratton of Laramie gave her testimony before a Senate Small Business Committee hearing, "Expanding Opportunities for Women Entrepreneurs," which helped lay the framework for the organization and other rural areas to receive this grant.

The WWBC provides essential services for low-to-moderate income women including technical assistance, capital, business counseling, networking opportunities, and a path to national certification as Women-Owned and Controlled Business, a designation that helps Wyoming business gain customers and contracts from across the country. The University of Wyoming, the Wyoming Small Business Development Center, the Wyoming Business Council, the Wyoming Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault and others have joined together to financially support WWBC services since 2000.
