What qualifications do the SBDC counselors have?
The professional staff members of each local service center are highly skilled individuals, each of whom has significant experience in the private sector. Many also have extensive management and financial consulting backgrounds. In addition to permanent staff, the SBDC also utilizes business owners, corporate executives, business school faculty, business school students, and other volunteers. BACK to top Q. How about confidentiality? I don’t want the world to know everything I discuss, especially if I provide financial or proprietary information about my business. All client information discussed by the client with SBDC personnel is confidential. SBDC consultants are required to sign confidentiality statements and cannot discuss proprietary information about your business with anyone other than SBDC personnel or persons you so designate.
