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 assure the success of your venture.
Through 24 campus-based regional centers and 50 outreach offices, the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) can 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 growth in New York, keeps SBDC services responsive to a 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.
