Ten years ago Marta Cuminotto abandoned a traditional 9 to 5 career in search of a new profession. She knew she wanted a business that afforded her flexibility and her desire to help women in need of her very specialized services – Permanent Hair Removal. In 2003 with help from WBDC, Absolutely Permanent Hair Removal doubled the size of its facility from 200 square feet to 500 square feet.

Marta credits the education and training she received from WBDC as a student in WBDC’s FastTrac New Venture™program. “The education I acquired in small business management, including P&L basics, marketing strategies, the ability to interpret marketing studies and utilize them, and most importantly how to assemble this knowledge, was overwhelming at first. I entered the class with basic skills, but not essential business knowledge. I left with a clear vision of my business.”

Celebrating her 10th year in business Marta has many reasons to be happy. She plans to add a Healthy Living component and expand her menu of services to include healthy living solutions with nutrients that will help women achieve healthy aging , healthy skin and healthy weight, by the end of this year.

In addition to the classroom training and one on one counseling sessions, WBDC’s FastTrac New Venture™program provides students with an incredible network of other business women pursuing similar goals. From home based businesses to businesses with millions of dollars in revenue, women in the program share common goals to create jobs for themselves and others and help our State get its economy back on track. This, translate into profits.
