SBDC - Small Business Counseling

Small Business Counseling

The CSUMB SBDC provides one-on-one counseling to small business owners and budding entrepreneurs. These services are offered free of charge to CSUMB SBDC clients.

Small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs discuss their business ventures and get expert advice from the CSUMB SBDC Director and/or CSUMB SBDC consultants. All client information is held in strict confidence and maintained by the CSUMB SBDC.

The CSUMB SBDC consulting staff includes experienced professionals, consultants, college and university professors, and experienced University MBA candidates. During the initial counseling session, the consultant identifies or defines the direction the client would like to pursue and/or the problem areas and determines the appropriate course of action to pursue.

Counseling sessions are arranged when small business owners or entrepreneurs contact the CSUMB SBDC. The Director holds the initial counseling session and determines the initial scope of work and then assigns the client to the appropriate consultant.

Depending on your specific needs, you may also be referred to one of our resource partners.
