How does SBTDC work with business clients?
The SBTDC provides in-depth management counseling and education services designed to help business owners make better decisions in achieving their business goals. Unlike consultants who work FOR businesses, SBTDC counselors are experienced and knowledgeable advisors that work WITH businesses, providing information, guidance, and feedback to entrepreneurs. The efforts of SBTDC professional staff are supplemented by the engagement of students and faculty from all University of North Carolina system campuses and a number of private universities and colleges.

Our basic counseling services are provided without charge, as the SBTDC is funded in part by federal and state tax dollars. Additional services, including management education and in-depth marketing research, are provided on a cost-recovery basis.
