“The SBM Program in particular helped us to know the things we didn’t know that we needed to know. Hands down the SBDC is an ally that every small business needs to have.” – Kregg and Jodi Parenti, Water Depot

We offer:

SBM for Contractors

Centered on supporting new contractors, covering topics including payroll and taxes, basic financials, government contracts, working with subcontractors, marketing, intermediate estimating, working with vendors, and much more.

We anticipate re-launching the following SBM programs in 2024:

SBM Level 1

Intended for newer business owners interested in improving financial and time management skills while gaining the knowledge and skills necessary for increased business effectiveness and profitability.

SBM Advanced

Builds on the business fundamentals learned in Level 1 with a focus on systems planning, in-depth financial analysis, pitch training and longer-term strategies for growth and development.

All SBM courses include free access to valuable market research analysis, extensive peer networking opportunities, and personalized 1:1 advising sessions aimed to help you apply course material to your specific business. Light meals are provided.

Classes meet one designated Monday evening per month, October – June.

“I have used free advising and resources at SBDC extensively to help grow my business. I have especially benefited from the Small Business Management class- it helps me approach my biz from all directions.” – Georgie Pulman-Olzaski, K-9 Crack
