Helping Women Business Owners in Montana Reach New Heights

The U.S. Small Business Administration's Women Business Center Program was designed to help women overcome continued barriers to success in business ownership. This continues to be our mission at RMWBC.

What People are Saying About Us . . .

This invaluable resource helped me out when I wasn't sure where to turn. I am very grateful for RMWBC and will continue to utilize their services!

I first heard about Marguerite and the Rocky Mountain Women’s Business Center through a colleague. As a single woman with disabilities, bringing my business into the world felt daunting. But thanks to the incredible support I’ve received, my vision is finally taking root in the community.

The Rocky Mountain Women’s Business Center has helped me build a foundation—providing financial support, guidance on budgeting and business planning, and insight into curriculum development.

Their excellent care and support of my vision has made it possible for my liberation-centered business to grow with confidence. I’m beyond grateful! I truly couldn’t be moving forward without them.

Kassi and Marguerite have been excellent to work with. After my first call with Kassi, I had a handful of tools and resources to explore and a follow up with Marguerite really helped me understand my bookkeeping flaws, provided feedback on things to change, helped restructure our accounts and helped me learn how to use all that data for projections and forecasting our businesses growth. I often found myself feeling insecure and uninformed when it came to understanding our finances. This team had already helped me feel seen, heard and valued as a business owner.

RMWBC programs and offerings have been game changing for me as a business owner. Their Funding Foundations Program was a huge help in learning more about different funding sources, what is needed as a business owner to apply for certain types of funding, where to look for opportunities, and more. Individual sessions with Marguerite and Kassi helped me dial in business financials and get a better handle on aspects of marketing. As someone with a heavy science background, these two areas are not my strong suit and with their insight and guidance I know feel much more confident in my own financial planning, tracking, and organization as well as how to reach customers and businesses whether it be unique opportunities or even just how advertising is worded to promote more engagement. Their programs also offer the opportunity to connect with other small business owners and create a community of like-minded individuals. I can’t express enough how helpful RMWBC has been for me as an entrepreneur!

I’ve been in business for about two years and RMWBC has been an invaluable resource for all things business. From finance, to marketing to featuring my business online and helping it grow. I love being able to meet fellow businesswomen across MT and Kassi and Marguerite are fabulous to work with!

Isabel Blue Mare Equestrian Services LLC

Rocky Mountain Women's business center was the most helpful tool I could have used when looking at opening my own business. I had no idea what I was doing when it came to my business plan and Marguerite had answers to all of my questions. She was able to help guide me to understanding how to get my financials and plan to bring to the financial institutes when I was looking for funding for my business. She was able to draw up some excel sheets to better understand what it was that I needed to provide. I wouldn't be as confident in opening up my business without the help and support of the Women's Business Center!

Megan FSK

I have had the pleasure of being introduced to the Rocky Mountain WBC earlier this year and since then, my business has seen a significant impact. It has been a great experience networking with other members of the community and sharing my knowledge of bookkeeping. The support and resources provided by the center have been invaluable to my business’s growth. Highly recommend!

Christy Parallel Connections

My experience has been that everyone loves a great idea, but very few know how to take the next step to implement that idea. The Women's Center advisor helped me calculate my costs so I could set a realistic price for my product and make a profit. Next, she helped me find financing opportunities that fit my project. She continues to look for opportunities and reaches out to me when she finds them. I don't have to reach out to her every time. I appreciate her effective assistance even more because I know it is rare.

RMWBC has been an incredible resource for expanding my network of women in business throughout Montana. As I work to grow Five Rings Financial across the state, the monthly Zoom coffee chats have been a fantastic way to connect with inspiring and driven entrepreneurs. The virtual sessions on financial planning and lending are not only informative but truly empowering.

Working with Marguerite through RMWBC has been incredibly helpful. She's knowledgeable, supportive, and has taken the time to get to know my business and the vision and goals I hope to achieve. Her guidance has been both practical and empowering, and I leave every meeting feeling clearer, more confident, and ready to take action. I’m so grateful for her support and her ability to make the scary things feel less scary! RMWBC and Marguerite are incredibly valuable resources to business owners and I can't recommend them enough!
