Small Business Development Centers
California's Regional Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Programs are part of the United States Small Business Administration's national network of SBDCs. As such, the programs leverage local, state and federal dollars to strengthen small businesses, and thus, positively impact the state's economy.
The SBDCs facilitate the success of small business through business management counseling and training, resulting in economic impacts such as the creation and retention of jobs, increases in sales and profits, new business starts and more.
The SBDC program sponsors include the California State Universities Chico, San Jose, Fullerton and Northridge; the University of California Merced; Southwestern Community College; the Chancellor's Office of the California Community Colleges Economic and Workforce Development Program; and, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA). It is a partnership program under a cooperative agreement with the SBA and the Administrative Lead Centers.
