Who do we help?

Whether you are a prospective business aiming at making your business dreams a reality; a current business needing to expand, or someone who just needs a few business questions answered, the ComLinks Women's Entrepreneurial Business Center (WEBC) can help you. The WEBC assists current and prospective businesses in Franklin, Essex, Clinton and St. Lawrence counties, including the Akwesasne Reservation, providing business counseling and technical assistance and training to current and prospective businesses owned and controlled by women. (However, the WEBC is not discriminatory and also assists current and prospective male business owners.)

"Imagine the Possibilities..."

"After visiting the Women's Business Center, I quickly realized the importance of having a business plan. It is an integral step to start a successful business and to achieve my lifelong dream of owning "Sweet Ending's Cafe." The ComLinks Women's Entrepreneurial Business Center offered tremendous support and assistance, and I will be forever grateful for their encouragement and support."
