Program Objectives
The SBDC program uses Federal
funds to leverage the resources of states,
academic institutions and the private
sector to:
(a) Strengthen the small business
community;
(b) Increase economic growth;
(c) Assist more small businesses; and
(d) Broaden the delivery system to
more small businesses.
SBDC Program Organization
The lead SBDC operates a statewide
or regional network of SBDC service
centers. An SBDC must have a full-time
Director. SBDCs must use at least 80
percent of the Federal funds to provide
services to small businesses. SBDCs use
volunteers and other low cost resources
as much as possible.
SBDC Services
An SBDC must have a full range of
business development and technical
assistance services in its area of
operations, depending upon local needs,
SBA priorities and SBDC program
objectives. Services include training and
counseling to existing and prospective
small business owners in management,
marketing, finance, operations,
planning, taxes, and any other general
or technical area of assistance that
supports small business growth.
The SBA district office and the SBDC
must agree upon the specific mix of
services. They should give particular
attention to SBA’s priority and special
emphasis groups, including veterans,
women, exporters, the disabled, and
minorities.
