Covid-19 resources & support
WISE WBC is here to help women business owners affected by the pandemic. We do that in a few ways. You can:
- Jump into our Small Business Resilience Course to dive deep
- Sign up for a 15-min advisory call to talk through a pandemic-related business question/concern
- Check out our resources below
- Or just shoot us an email
We're here to help you in any way we can. When we don't know the answer, we'll do some research and get back to you or connect you with someone who does.
