ABOUT THE OHIO SBDC NETWORK

With more than 120 highly trained Certified Business Advisors® throughout the state, the Ohio SBDC Network provides free, confidential, in-depth business consulting in areas such as business management, government regulations, financing, international trade and product development.

The SBDC of Ohio program was created in 1985 through a partnership between the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Ohio Department of Development. The program fosters a strong climate for small business growth through a statewide integrated system of small business service, advocacy and awareness, and more than 40 partnerships with chambers of commerce, colleges and universities, economic development organizations and Edison Centers.

Today, these federal, state, and local partnerships contribute more than $10 million in cash and resources to the support of small business development.
