Success Story


I wish I would have known about the SBDC before I went to LegalZoom. But our bank told us to meet with Jodi at the SBDC. Every time I called or emailed her, I always got answers. She was always patient with my questions, and she helped us make good connections. And making sure people know we serve comfort food was her idea!

The SBDC has always responded with an answer when we had a question. I have Phil’s cell number on my speed dial, and he is my first ‘go-to’ resource for business assistance.

When we met with Veronica and Jaime, they helped me focus on the next step. Now my products are in three stores in Jacksonville and I am taking phone orders. I am constantly adjusting my recipes and packaging, aiming to sell to big brands, step-by-step with the help of the SBDC

I recommend the SBDC every time someone asks about business coaching or start-up assistance! I’m in a lot of social media groups for entrepreneurs in a few different fields and people ask about business coaching all the time. I let them know how helpful the SBDC has been for me and encourage them to reach out and talk to someone to see if SBDC can be helpful for them too.

It has been a pleasure growing our business with Cathy as our guiding light. I can’t imagine growing our business to this level without tapping into the resources that the SBDC has shared with us. I look forward to many more years of business success with the SBDC and Cathy as our partner. – Owner, Dennis Chan

We really appreciate the assistance we received from the Small Business Development Center and feel fortunate to have had the resource.

The help and resources that I have been given for free is incredible and I have even shared the information with many of my healthcare colleagues due to how involved and supportive the team has been. Just how much everyone is personally vested in my clinic and success is just so appreciated!

Dr. Geist has always made himself available and has been there to answer my questions, provide advice, and make suggestions. I look forward to working with him as we renovate and move into the new facility.

SBDC has helped me to refocus my business and point me in the right direction on how to market and grow my company.

Cheryl explained which programs to apply for, what the exact terms were and when I asked about the possibility of refinancing my building, she also ran me through some scenarios and possibilities.
