1st Women's Business Center in Phoenix opening Thursday

The first Women’s Business Center in Phoenix is opening this week. The center will provide resources for all small-business owners, but will focus specifically on providing support for female entrepreneurs.

The center will provide resources to help build strong foundations for small businesses. Amber Cordoba is with the center, and she says the goal is to help entrepreneurs, who can then, in turn, help others. 

“We really want to help people to set the foundation in order to really operate their business in a way that helps them be more financially stable. Hopefully it will help them create jobs within the community, create jobs for other women or other individuals that have barriers to employment," said Cordoba. 

The center’s resources are specifically designed to help launch or grow a small business. Cordoba says this could be anything from drawing up business plans to marketing advice. The center will have its grand opening on Thursday, and it will be located within the Buckeye Commerce Center on Buckeye Road.

Reyna Preciado was an intern at KJZZ in 2021.
