Mission
“Our mission is to equip individuals with the necessary tools needed to start and sustain their operations”
For over 25 years, The Business Center for Entrepreneurship & Social Enterprise, commonly referred to as TBC, is a 501(c)(3) that provides educational and business programs necessary to strengthen business formations to improve Northwest Philadelphia’s underserved business ecosystem. Our programs better position small business owners and start-up entrepreneurs to develop and vet their business concepts and further establish their reputations.
As evidence of our success, over each of those 22 years more than 800+ adults and youth completed TBC’s entrepreneurship courses, with 25 percent of those participants seeking on-going consulting services from TBC.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1770646250157{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/6″ css=”.vc_custom_1495476836296{padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column col_shadow=”” width=”2/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1739202300914{padding-left: 80px !important;}”][vc_column_text]
