ECDI made the whole loan process practically effortless... On top of that, they helped with refining my business plan and researching my competitors. Their mentorship was invaluable.

Mmelo Boutique Confections
My business would not exist without ECDI. I’ve squeezed every service out of the organization that I can, and that they’ve lovingly given to me. I've gotten help with financial, HR and legal matters in addition to funding. I cannot overstate how foundational my relationship is to ECDI.

People need to know about ECDI and the things they do for women business owners. It’s a rare resource.
