What We Do
The mission for the ACE Women’s Business Center is to empower women, minorities, and low-to-moderate income entrepreneurs through financial education and training.
The ACE Women’s Business Center understands the needs of small businesses, both start-ups and existing businesses. We know the challenges small businesses face, and we have the knowledge and experience to provide the training and support small business owners need to be successful.
Funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration, our office is conveniently located in Savannah State University – Graduate School, a historically black university (HBCU) located in downtown Savannah. The ACE Women’s Business Center (WBC) provides a full range of services for women entrepreneurs at all stages of planning, implementation, and growth.

Upcoming Events
Makers & Merchants Matchmaking Event
Amber Shelton, BIPOC Market Savannah
Ashley Flynn, Makers Market Savannah
The main goal of this matchmaking event is to create a win-win situation, where makers gain access to a broader market and merchants gain access to unique and desirable products that can set them apart from competitors. It can also help foster collaboration and support between creative communities and businesses, encouraging innovation and diversity in the market.
If you are a maker of any type of products, food and beverage, jewelry, pottery, leather goods, apparel, wood working, glass making, body care and any other products not listed, we want you to a part of this movement!
You must be registered with WBC Savannah Region to participate in the required workshops, 1:1 consultation, and Makers & Merchants Matchmaking event.
