Thinking about contacting your local SBDC?
Here are eight reasons you want to consider contacting your local SBDC:
1. No Cost - Free.While a good business consultant or coach is probably worth every penny, you can get some very good and detailed consulting at no cost from an SBDC counselor.
2. Confidential. As part of the SBA, the SBDCs adhere to strict confidentiality standards so you know that what you discuss won’t be shared with others.
3. Objective. An SBDC counselor is not a part of your business and most likely not a part of your circle or friends, so it can provide a non-biased non-emotional opinion about your circumstances. They can give you a very good reality check.
4. Accountable. Being a program of a federal government agency means that SBDCs must provide careful reporting of the work they do with each client so there is always a record of your interactions.
5. Skilled.Being hired as an SBDC counselor requires a certain level of business experience and knowledge so you know that you’re speaking to someone with solid skills and practical experience.
6. Solutions-oriented. SBDC counselors are in the business of helping you develop a better business. They can even offer assistance obtaining loans in the short or long term to help your business.
7. Lots of Resources. Your local SBDC has access and connections to many local and national resources that can help you take your business to the next level.
