LIMA, OH (WLIO) - The State of Ohio wants to let minority business owners know about the resources available to help them succeed.
The Northwest Ohio-Toledo Minority Business Assistance Centers held a seminar today to provide information about what support the State of Ohio offers to minority business owners. Topics included advice for expanding a business, special loans offered by MBAC, and how to get certified by the State of Ohio. Once minority-owned businesses have that certification, they are eligible to receive help from the state in employee recruitment.
"I'm hoping once I get this certification, as a woman-owned business and a minority that it'll open some doors for me," said Caroline Lawrence, entrepreneur.
"I have a lot of students who come through who are trying to start businesses, I want this information to try to help them out," commented Barry Moss, Literacy Council tutor.
"I am just here to find out what type of certifications are available to women, to veterans," said Tamara Wilson, owner of Score Keepers.
