What is #SBDC Day?
National SBDC Day is a celebration held annually in March to honor the Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) across the United States. SBDCs are funded in part by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and provide assistance to small businesses and entrepreneurs through consulting, training, and resources. On SBDC Day, centers nationwide showcase their impact on local economies and communities, often hosting events, webinars, and sharing success stories of businesses they've helped. It's a day to highlight the critical role SBDCs play in supporting small business growth and development.
Businesses should save the date for National SBDC Day to access a range of valuable resources and support. SBDCs, funded in part by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and supported by America's SBDC, offer:
- Expert Consulting: One-on-one sessions with experienced advisors covering business planning, finance, marketing, and more.
- Educational Workshops: Opportunities to learn essential skills like legal compliance, digital marketing strategies, and strategic growth planning.
- Networking Opportunities: Connections with fellow entrepreneurs and industry experts to foster collaborations and partnerships.
- Success Stories: Insights from businesses that have thrived with SBDC support, providing inspiration and practical tips.
- Resource Access: Tools and resources to streamline operations and improve business efficiency, supported by the SBA and America's SBDC network.
National SBDC Day celebrates the vital role of small businesses and highlights how ongoing support helps sustain programs like these at no cost to entrepreneurs.
