The IWBC is truly a place where entrepreneurs can connect, receive valuable coaching and training, and find the support they need to grow their businesses.”
The grand opening event will feature a ribbon-cutting ceremony with special guests, business owners, and members of the community. Attendees will have the opportunity to network with fellow entrepreneurs, resource partners, and community leaders while enjoying appetizers and refreshments.
Paige Wiscombe, Director of the Idaho WBC, says, “The IWBC’s grand opening and ribbon cutting are not just milestones, but a strong affirmation of our commitment to support entrepreneurs. With a robust schedule of classes, a new business coach joining us soon, and a comprehensive suite of resources at their disposal, the center is ready to equip entrepreneurs with the practical tools and guidance needed to turn their visions into successful ventures.”
The IWBC’s services are open to all Idaho entrepreneurs, offering support at any stage of their business journey. Focusing on offering opportunities through various options, the center will provide resources both virtually and in person and will work with different partners to reach all Idaho small businesses, whether rural or centrally located.
