Small Business Development Center

The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) program was initiated at UT Permian Basin in 1986 and moved to the CEED facility in 1990. The SBDC and its business consultants work closely with potential and existing business owners to ensure that they are as fully prepared as possible to reach their goals and objectives and are available to assist clients with:

• Business Plan development and improvement
• Finding Sources and Preparing for Financing
• Business Start-up/Expansion
• Marketing Research and Planning
• Financial Analysis
• Ongoing Management Issues

The core objective for the SBDC program is to provide clients with consulting and training. This activity focuses on start-up, expansion and problem solving for small business owners in a sixteen county area. A variety of training seminars covering all aspects of business development is presented throughout the year. The SBDC operates in partnership with the U.S. Small Business Administration.
