SBDC’s Business Consulting
May 8 @ 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm
The Co-Op is proud to house counselors from SBDC every other Wednesday.
The Salt Lake Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at The Co-Op is passionate about helping small business owners and entrepreneurs achieve their goals of growth, innovation, increased productivity, management improvement, and success. We have experts on our team who can provide crucial information and support that can make the difference between a business’s success and failure.
Serving Utah’s largest population with over one million residents and 40,000 businesses, the Salt Lake SBDC works to promote and assist small businesses in all stages of development. From individuals with an established business needing solutions to individuals wanting to learn more about what it takes to go into business, the SBDC can help.
