The Wisconsin SBDC is just one of 62 America’s SBDC networks with nearly 1,000 locations across the country, all providing small businesses and entrepreneurs with the resources they need to succeed.
Like our consultants have gone virtual to deliver assistance, information and classes in this pandemic, America’s SBDC went virtual in 2021 for its annual report. The web format brings strong visual attention to how the SBDC delivered vital resources during the most critical of times. Whether the business is in an underserved or rural community, exporting, participating in an accelerator or owned by a woman, SBDCs have stood up to their reputation to be a steadfast pillar of support.
