My experience with the SBDC was excellent. The SBDC is knowledgeable of the current business climate in Missouri and helped me navigate the primary stages of building my business. I was given tools to organize my records and break down my financials to see what the best course of action would be for myself and my business. I couldn’t be happier.

I’ve enjoyed the class and feel an incredible amount of energy to make things happen and change during this experience. I enjoyed the facilitation style and appreciate your can-do approach. I’ve learned much at the seminar and enjoyed the personal stories. The SBDC does a good job of supporting and motivating entrepreneurs to take action.
