MADISONVILLE, Ky. (WFIE) – A free business development program for women and minority-owned businesses was held in Madisonville Thursday.
The Madisonville-Hopkins County Economic Development Corporation has partnered with the Madisonville Minority Economic Development Council to provide a free 8 A certification class for all women and minorities at the Kentucky Innovation Station in Madisonville.
The 8 A Business Development Program offers a wide range of support to companies that have the majority of women in or minorities. Small business owner Brashyia Peyton says events like this can help make connections.
“Because if you want your business to expand or your business to be successful, you have to get yourself out there. So events like this really help us do that, and I’m grateful for that,” Peyton said.
Peyton has a grand opening of its beauty and fashion store ‘We Clash’ in Madisonville this Sunday.
