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.

We worked very closely with the talented consultants and specialists at the Florida SBDC and we were able to make the best out of a tough situation. We are now poised to build upon the foundation that we laid last year by taking the time to work on our business plan and our marketing strategy.

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

I find that the SBDC is a very professional organization with deep data and market research tools that support our business.

We knew we wanted to export, we just didn’t know how. The [FSBDC] certificate program opened our eyes to opportunities and resources that made exporting a reality for our company. Cathy and the FSBDC connected us to the experts we needed to get started and we continue to rely on her for guidance as HERO FL grows.

The SBDC’s guidance has helped Green Technologies grow substantially. We look forward to tapping into more resources as we continue to expand.
