Small Business
Development Center
Small business development
centers (SBDCs) are funded in part by the Small Business
Administration (SBA) and also work with local colleges and some
other funding agencies. Every state has at least one SBDC, and most
states have several offices in several cities.
SBDCs can be an
excellent resource for businesses, offering high quality
professional advice at very low prices.
SCORE Counselors
The Service Corps of Retired Executives
(SCORE) consists of over 12,000 volunteers, and is
sponsored by the US Small Business Administration. SCORE provides free,
confidential, one-on-one counseling to small business owners and those
interested in starting businesses. SCORE members are retired or working
executives with in-depth expertise in a wide spectrum of businesses
nationwide.
Business Information Centers
Business Information Centers
(BIC) are
recent additions that provide computer research and graphic
workstations. These centers offer access to market research
databases, business planning and marketing software, and interactive
libraries of information.
