The Utah Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) exist to assist small business owners in achieving maximum potential by providing one-on-one counseling, business skills training, business planning, and loan packaging. Through a network of 11 regional centers located throughout the state, the SBDC’s can provide professional assistance in all areas of small business development.

The SBDC has existed since 1980. Utah State University was one of the first Regional Center established. The center is funded by the Federal Government under SBA; The State of Utah, under the Utah Department of Community of Economic Development; and Utah State University, through USU Extension. We officially serve Cache and Rich Counties, but also serve clients within a reasonable proximity in southern Idaho, and areas of Box Elder County.
