Finding herself unemployed with no job prospects, Amy Westrick decided to break out on her own and launch a chiropractic practice. Today with the help of the Center of Women & Enterprise, Amy has a thriving business that employs three people and has annual revenues over $120,000. Since working with CWE, Amy has increased her household income by 150%, her savings by 50%, and entirely eliminated her debt. Amy is able to support herself solely on the profits of her business.
The Center for Women & Enterprise was critical to Amys success. Amy was able to gain valuable business skills through Power Up, a business start-up course offered in the CWE Rhode Island office. She also secured an important $35,000 start-up loan by working with CWE.
