The value I have received from the SBDC is incredible. They have many great resources such as free webinars on a variety of useful topics. But the best thing about the SBDC is the one-on-one consulting with experts in various fields.

Seeing people captivated and smiling after they have tasted one of my creations is a delight.

We originally contacted the Florida SBDC at UNF before we started our business to work on our business concept. They were able to get us in the mindset of being business owners, and they opened our eyes to all that is involved in owning and running your own business.

The Florida SBDC has really helped me understand so much more about the process of exporting

I had no idea what I needed to do to purchase a business, and she ran the numbers, gave me contacts in the community, assisted with the business plan…She was a lifesaver and always super supportive, patient and honest about the pros/cons of owning a business.

Every small business owner needs to take advantage of the services offered by the SBDC.  This is a resource that can help in so many ways.

Any question I had, she was able to guide me in the direction I needed. She basically helped with everything. I don’t think this would’ve happened without Cheryl’s help.

As a small business person, we often just need someone to talk to and bounce ideas off of. Many of us feel as though we are blazing a trail every day and that can be a lonely feeling. It is both reassuring and encouraging to be able to talk confidentially with people who understand our goals and the hurdles in achieving them.

Jodi Henson with SBDC was instrumental in helping us put together a sound business plan.  And it didn’t stop there, as Jodi continues to follow our journey to ensure we remain successful
