Michigan Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) are business management assistance and training centers located throughout the state to assist people interested in starting a business as well as existing businesses with less than 500 employees.

The SBDC’s provide no-cost business management consulting and low-cost training to Michigan’s businesses.  On a daily basis, certified counselors assist businesses in handling cash flow problems, developing sound accounting practices, producing marketing materials, packaging loan proposals, addressing personnel issues, and referring clients to experts who partner with the SBDC network.

These consultants include CPA, loan counselors, attorneys and marketing specialists.  Firms interested in exporting, research and development, manufacturing, and technology transfer may receive specialized assistance from the SBDCs.

The program also links resources of federal and local governments with community colleges, university, and the private sector to produce practical solutions to business problems.
