Every class stays in your member library.
Every class is included with your $149 annual WBA membership — no extra fees. Workshops are educational and are not legal, tax, investment or insurance advice.

The free classes alone are worth more than the $149 membership. I finally have a real budget and understand where every dollar is going. The PDF resources are incredibly practical — I used the business plan template when applying for a small business loan.
I booked the Business Plan Review service and Joseph's feedback was incredibly thorough. My business plan went from a rough draft to something I was proud to show investors. As a nonprofit, WBA genuinely cares about your success — not just taking your money.
I had never thought seriously about building business credit until WBA. I downloaded the Business Credit Guide from the resource library, followed the 90-day plan, and now have vendor accounts reporting to my business credit profile. Game changer.
