SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Description of the SBDC Program

    A partnership exists between SBA and an SBDC. SBDCs offer training, 
counseling and other business development assistance to small 
businesses. Each SBDC provides services under a negotiated Cooperative 
Agreement with the SBA. SBDCs operate on the basis of a state plan to 
provide assistance within a state or geographic area. The initial plan 
must have the written approval of the Governor. Non-Federal funds must 
match Federal funds. An SBDC must operate according to law, the 
Cooperative Agreement, SBA's regulations, the annual Program 
Announcement, and program guidance.

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.

SBDC Program Requirements

    An SBDC must meet programmatic and financial requirements imposed 
by statute, regulations or its Cooperative Agreement. The SBDC must:
    (a) Locate service centers so that they are as accessible as 
possible to small businesses;
    (b) Open all service centers at least 40 hours per week, or during 
the normal business hours of its state or academic Host Organization, 
throughout the year;
    (c) Develop working relationships with financial institutions, the 
investment community, professional associations, private consultants 
and small business groups; and
    (d) Maintain lists of private consultants at each service center.
