Who ever said the government doesn't do anything for small business?
"Doing Big Things for Small Business"
What a great resource we have here in the Low Country with the Small Business Development Center. This is an organization committed to seeing the local small business community thrive and grow offering years of experience and resources in the world of business FREE for those interested.
I had the pleasure of meeting with the local Area Manager Thomas J. Lauria this past week and was very impressed with what they had to offer. He has put together a strong team of successful retired businessmen all bringing their own invaluable experience in various sectors including: finance, banking, government and manufacturing. Their goal is to help local small businesses analyze opportunities, develop business plans, strategies, and create loan packages.
This blogger found their website to be a wealth of knowledge. One of the best tools I found, was their Links page that has an incredible number of tools and resources ranging from financial statement templates to SBA frequently asked questions. I'm sure that any small business owner would find many of these helpful in making their business more successful.
I encourage those of you reading this blog to visit their website or stop in to either of their two offices and take advantage of the great services they offer. I can't believe I'm about to say this but the Small Business Development Center is definitely something our government has finally done right for business.
