Who pays for the SBDC program?
The Southeastern Iowa SBDC is part of a statewide network of colleges and universities that joint venture with the federal and state governments, including the US Small Business Administration, to provide financial support for the centers. Southeastern Community College and the Center for Business is the host of our SBDC. This support allows the center to provide consulting services free-of-charge to starting and expanding small businesses who cannot afford the services of a private consultant. There is a nominal charge for classroom training.
