Many of America’s entrepreneurs take their dreams and ideas and start thriving small businesses with the help of Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs). Through cutting-edge training programs and advising strategies, SBDCs aren’t just helping create new businesses; they are helping thousands of others grow.

Nearly 1,000 SBDCs nationwide provide clients with no cost business advising services and at-cost training programs. Whatever the business – exporter, government contractor, high-tech, veteran-owned, women-owned, minority-owned, and wherever it is located – in an underserved community, rural or urban, at an accelerator or incubator, brick and mortar, on-line, or in an area affected by a natural disaster – SBDCs are there earning their reputation for steadfast support.  Nationwide, SBDCs helped generate 83,329 jobs, $8.4 billion in sales growth, $6.2 billion in financing and helped start 13,910 new businesses – proving that SBDCs are leaders in job creation and economic development.
