Ruth Jordan, Minority Business Enterprises and Entrepreneur Resource Center

The Entrepreneur Resource Center (ERC) is a dynamic business incubator designed to support both aspiring and established entrepreneurs, including startups and freelancers. The ERC offers a range of resources, including co-working spaces, private and semi-private offices, a conference room, a computer lab, future retail space, and various business support services. With a strong emphasis on empowering underrepresented, disadvantaged, minority-owned, and women-owned businesses, the center fosters an inclusive and equitable entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Located in the James Lewis Apartment Complex at 91 Hanover Street in downtown Charleston, the ERC officially opened its doors in July 2024.

More than just a workspace, the center serves as a catalyst for closing the economic inequality gap, providing high-quality, affordable office solutions to help businesses thrive. Flexible pricing options range from daily drop-in rates of $25 to monthly desk and office rentals starting at $430, ensuring accessibility for entrepreneurs at all stages of their journey.
