The Hawai'i Small Business Development Center (SBDC) affiliated with the Small Business Administration (SBA) office provides a wide range of services to support businesses, including assistance with expansion, developing business plans, financial monitoring, profitability, and ensuring compliance.
Here's how the SBDC and SBA partnership is making a difference:
Comprehensive Support: From assisting with expansion plans to ensuring compliance with regulations, the SBDC offers a wide range of services aimed at fostering the growth and sustainability of local businesses.
Personalized Assistance: Recognizing that every business is unique, the SBDC provides individualized support to address specific challenges, identify gaps in business plans, and facilitate connections with banks for funding.
Non-Profit Guidance: In addition to supporting for-profit ventures, the SBDC also works with non-profits, offering specialized sessions to guide them through the process of establishment and management.
Accessible Advisory Services: One of the most significant advantages offered by the SBDC is its provision of FREE individual advisory services. Covering areas such as business planning, funding, marketing, and technology adoption, these services are made possible through funding from the SBA and the State of Hawai'i, ensuring accessibility to all businesses, regardless of size or industry.
Educational Workshops: For those looking to expand their knowledge and skills, the SBA hosts monthly workshops covering various topics relevant to small businesses. While these workshops may entail a small fee, the majority are conducted online, making them convenient and accessible to entrepreneurs and business owners alike.
The partnership between the SBDC and SBA plays a crucial role in empowering Hawaii's businesses to thrive and succeed. Whether you're just starting out or looking to take your business to the next level, the SBDC and SBA are here to provide the support and guidance you need to achieve your goals.
