We’re Here to Help Your Small Business Succeed!
The Small Business Center Network of the NC Community College System provides support and as- sistance to small businesses and start-ups across North Carolina. Small Business Centers (SBC’s) are located at each of the state’s 58 community colleges, providing confidential business counseling and seminars to small business owners and entrepreneurs.
Created in 1984 when the North Carolina General Assembly funded 14 SBC’s, the Small Business Center Network (SBCN) had expanded to include at least one SBC at each community college by 1995. The SBCN helps to start an average of over 700 businesses every year and help create and retain more than 3,800 jobs in North Carolina. The SBCN is also ranked #1 in the US for total business seminars and participants.
Today, with more than 60 sites, the Small Business Center Network is known as the most expansive state-funded technical small business assistance program in the United States with locations within a 30-minute drive of almost every North Carolinian.
The mission of the Small Business Centers is to increase the success rate and number of viable small businesses in North Carolina by providing high quality, readily accessible assistance to prospective and existing small business owners, with the goal of job creation and retention.
The Small Business Center regularly schedules FREE business seminars and maintains a host of reference materials for use by business owners. Seminars are offered on a scheduled and customized basis throughout SCC’s service area. Online registration is required, and you can view a full list of our offerings at www.ncsbc.net
