"As a former small business owner, I understand that it's vital for New Jersey's economy to make sure our workers and small businesses have the skills they need to compete and grow. The NJSBDC is a striking success by educating business owners about the skills and strategies that will elevate the performance of their businesses and in doing so enhance and enrich the communities in which they work.”

Client Quotes
I have received financing in the amount of $250,000. Because of their help, we were able to move into a larger facility, expand our product lines and hire new employees.
LM, West Berlin.
“
After being downsized by AT&T, SBDC counselors helped me in many ways. Through the SBDC, I gained the knowledge necessary and confidence to start my own business. If the SBDC had not been there, I definitely would not have created my own company. Due to free counseling services of the SBDC and the SEA program I gained the knowledge and confidence to start my own business that has generated over $11,000 of NJ tax revenue that would not have been realized without the SBDC.
JS, Holmdel.
“ I received SBDC assistance to help me start my business in 2006. Since then, I have received financing in the amount of $50,000.00 due to their assistance and this has helped me expand my business with essential working capital.
MC, Clifton.
