Each year in March, the third Tuesday of the month is designated as “National SBDC Day.” In recognition of this, and to honor the many achievements of our network of small business clients and stakeholders, Valley Community Small Business Development Center is launching the first annual National SBDC Day Luncheon!
This event will showcase the many accomplishments achieved by entrepreneurs and small business owners we have served in 2022, provide an informative keynote speaker (TBA) and recognize outstanding achievements of some of our wonderful SBDC clients and partners.
Whether you want to launch, grow, transition or innovate your business, we can provide expert consulting, training, market research, access to capital and other tools at low to no cost assistance.
Your Local SBDC center is a part of the Central CA SBDC Network which since 2003, has assisted thousands of companies, from start-ups to established firms; helped to create and retain over 10,000 jobs; and created more than $435 million in loans and equity.
