  "I've been in business as a sole proprietor since 2002. I only learned about SBDC in 2020 when faced with business shut down due to COVID-19. I wish I would have known about this amazing no cost resource from the start of my business! They were invaluable to me, shepherding me through the process of a PPP loan and EIDL loan to keep me afloat. I will certainly continue to use their services!"

  Response from the owner

At the SBDC, we try our best to make sure our clients get the resources and assistance they need during unexpected times. Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We are excited to hear you will continue using our services!

  I have benefitted from the services of SBDC for almost 20 years, and will recommend it highly to other business associates. SignAge & ArtWorks would not have survived the pandemic without the resources that SBDC counselors helped us receive.
