n.a.

Babes in Business is an entrepreneurial community that brings women business owners together through professional networking events and workshop-style programming. Its recurring formats include Networking Parties, Coffee Club meetups, and Study Hall sessions, and it also offers memberships and a directory that helps members promote their products and services.

The original Babes in Business business was created in 2017 by founder Jennifer Chavez in Asbury Park, New Jersey. The franchisor, Babes Franchising LLC, later organized in New Jersey to offer franchises using the Babes in Business name and system.

From its early community meetups, the brand standardized its event approach so franchisees can host and facilitate Babes in Business networking and workshop events in their local markets under consistent operating guidelines.
