When you want to start a small business or make an existing
small business grow and prosper, there's an organization you
can turn to. The Small Business Development Center, the
premier business assistance organization in New York State,
provides expert management and technical assistance to help

Through 24 campus-based regional centers and 50 outreach

apply the resources of university, private sector, and government
to solve business problems and foster entrepreneurship.
The SBDC Advisory Board, made up of representatives from
private and public organizations concerned with small business

constantly changing small business environment. The SBDC
emphasizes counseling and training services to women, veterans,
people with special needs, and minority entrepreneurs. The
SBDC also focuses on manufacturers, exporters, technology-
oriented firms, government contractors, and projects that
advance the job development, investment, and economic
growth priorities of New York State.
