have offered some programs that we no longer offer and we are currently offering new programs as well. Please call us if you need any
clarification or have any questions about which THWBC program is right for you.
Business Development and Management: THWBC are dedicated to providing current information and training that will assist
entrepreneurs in starting and managing their own business. Whether it is a For Profit entity or a Non Profit entity, we will conduct in
depth training on business skills, marketing, government resources, how to apply and qualify for loans, record keeping and management
in order to properly prepare individuals to start, begin, function, operate and continue in their business.
Special Programs - Financial Management
In addition, the THWBC will be offering Financial Management courses that is developed specifically for women who
has a desire to come out of debt, save for the future and invest in their tomorrow. Individuals will learn how to take a
personal financial evaluation of their current situation and use that assessment to start a plan, begin to budget and
save, and continue on to financial freedom. This eight session workshop will also cover how to obtain, read, and
correct your personal credit report in order to obtain a business loan.
The THWBC will provide assistance with For Profit and Non Profit Incorporation, developing board of directors,
