Local Resources

Women's Business Center

If you're a woman and interested in opening a business but need legal and business information before diving in, the MCSC Women's Business Center in San Luis Obispo is a free resource with free business advice and classes. Most of these classes are online, but they have incredible events in person throughout the year.

We are a woman-owned business and because we have utilized our local Women's Business Center's resources, they've added us as a member and included our website and many other woman-owned businesses' websites in the WBC Local  Directory.

Parenting Classes

San Luis Obispo County is divided into two sub-counties: North County and South County. Pismo Beach, which is where Pismo Web is based, is located in South County. Both North County and South County have free parenting community classes that they provide either online or in-person. There are different parenting classes for parents with kids between 0 - 18 years old!

See South County Youth Coalition for free parenting classes in South County of San Luis Obispo County. 

For both North County and South County resources for free parenting classes, you can see the Parent Connection of San Luis Obispo County's website.

Bank Account Suggestion for Small or Micro Businesses

Any small or micro business in the U.S. can open a business bank account with Grasshopper Bank that lets you earn interest on your balance. You can also get $200 when you open a new account at Grasshopper Bank with this referral code: c4f9725c4617 that you have to copy and remember to input it before you finish your application! Grasshopper Bank does not have a physical bank location so it is a very digital alternative solution. You also have to have deposited a minimum amount (like $2,000 or could change by the time you open the account) by the 90th day. If you forget to input the referral code before you complete the application, sorry, there is no going back or do-overs. Autobooks tools come with signing up with Grasshopper Bank so that you can accept credit card transactions and send invoices directly to your clients and their payment through Autobooks would go directly to your Grashopper Bank account. This makes it very convenient.
