This program is an amazing resource for anyone looking to start a business and or in need of professional resources for an existing business. From business planning, legal, marketing, operations etc. this is a wonderful network of local professionals.

I began my business and working with the SBDC at the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. I would've never been able to field around the constant change of the business climate without them. They sprang into action collecting the most recent information on the PPP Loan and other resources available to businesses distributing information daily through calls, zoom and emails. They assigned me a business coach who answered questions, clarified information and advised me on how to proceed. Under the circumstances, they were available whenever I needed them and three years later continue to provide valuable resources that have helped me at every stage of my business.

Can't say enough positive things about my experience with the SBDC. The folks who run the SBDC are incredibly friendly and go above and beyond to help you get the right support and resources. The SBDC connected me with expert consultants who provided guidance on many areas including legal, product dev, finance, and grants. This access to qualified consultants was a game-changer for my team. You'll be in great hands if you choose to work with the SBDC.

Warm, inviting, connected, buzzing with smarts and activity. A great resource for the entrepreneurially minded or entre-curious. Judy and crew help you keep perspective and make the connections flow. Thank you for your awesomeness.
