If you're thinking about starting or buying a business, we recommend that you attend one of our PreVenture Orientation (PVO) sessions. Once this step is completed, you will have access to regular meetings with a counselor to help you start and grow your business.

SBTDC counselors have experience with a wide range of businesses and serve as an unbiased resource to help guide new businesses through the twists and turns of the start-up process. Our counselors have advanced business planning tools and resources that will aid you in making the proper decisions as your business grows.
All counseling services at SBTDC are free-of-charge and completely confidential.
You can contact the SBTDC to sign up for a Pre-venture orientation Orientation or get more information on our services.
