Small Business Development (SBDC)

The Small Business Development Center Initiative mission is to assist prospective and existing small business owners in California to start, retain, or expand their businesses, thus strengthening California's economy and increasing wealth and quality of life.

In support of the United States Small Business Administration's Small Business Development Center program, the California Community Colleges provide fiscal and programmatic resources to the state's SBDC's. Twenty-six SBDCs, in a network of 34 Centers, are hosted by Community Colleges. A partnership of four Universities and two Community College Regional Lead Centers administer the California SBDC program. Below is a listing of all 34 of the state's SBDCs, including those not hosted by community colleges. Services are provided in every county. Please contact the Center closest to you for facilitation.
