We provide accessible, affordable and professional counseling,
entrepreneurial training and resources to small startup and mature businesses
throughout Polk County.
A statewide partnership of higher education, economic development
organizations, chambers and other sponsors dedicated to the economic prosperity
of Florida-the Florida Small Business Development Center Network (FSBDCN) is one
of eight original national SBDC pilot programs. Funded in 1976 by the U.S.
Small Business Administration (SBA), the program successfully links the state's
education system with community outreach to aid in the development and education
of the state's entrepreneurs and small business community.
Starting with only two service centers in the first year of operation, the
FSBDCN has grown to a statewide network of approximately 30 centers involving
universities and community colleges, as well as other economic development
partner organizations. Additional outreach is provided at approximately 60
circuit rider locations. Today, the FSBDCN is one of more than 60
SBA-funded SBDC programs, with locations in every state and US territory.
