The Crochet Business Center
To find out what the CBC is and how it works, please first read About the Crochet Business Center (http://www.crochetville.org/forum/showthread.php?t=97563).

Because the CBC is intended for existing and soon-to-be business owners, we ask for credentials with your application. Please don't hesitate to apply; we want as many CBC members as possible because we truly want the CBC and your businesses to thrive. The more members CBC has, the more ideas, support, help, and encouragement members can provide to each other.

Note: Established crochet professionals may instead request access to Professionals Place (http://www.crochetville.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=121), which is also free of charge. Professional members have access to both Professionals Place and the Crochet Business Center.
