The SBDC helped me by breaking down the huge task of starting a business into pieces that I could manage and see how I could be profitable.

Through the power of the SBDC, we have had the opportunity to work with many quality professionals.

My Procurement Specialist, Don Zavesky, helped us get started and has supported our success along the way.

SBDC has a professional and customer-oriented program which systematically consults with a new business owner to elicit new skills, insights, products and confidence. Working with Blake allowed me to move successfully into the competitive non-profit sector with a well-polished plan and product. Having been out of the work force for over 12 years while raising my four children, I was hesitant, but Blake’s coaching inspired confidence, skills and success!

Mike’s knowledge of the business, his guidance on how to start, having us go through the numbers and helping us get ready to open were invaluable.

Seek experts like the SBDC with their business experience and expertise to shorten your learning curve.

The resources of the Florida SBDC and consultant Cheryl Lynch are priceless. Cheryl has been a guiding light for us, saving us time and money, as we launch our business.

You strategically moved Taphouse Graphics from point A to point B before Lindee and I knew where point B was supposed to be.

I was referred to the SBDC during the time I was toying with the idea of expanding. Getting an appointment and an actual sit down with a consultant was very expedient.

It couldn’t have been easier, and we could not have done it without the SBDC!
