Volunteer Business Advisors represent a cross section of experienced business professionals from around the Shenandoah Valley Small Business Development Center service region.
SBDC volunteers may aid the Center’s clients in the areas of Accounting, Business & Strategic Planning, Business Financing, Marketing & Sales, Cash Management / Forecasting, Insurance, Web Design & Marketing, Technology Issues, Legal Issues, and Business Taxes.
The SV SBDC provides no-fee, confidential and individualized consultation to established businesses and aspiring entrepreneurs. We address a wide range of questions and issues to guide our clients through all stages of business. Consultations may cover any or all of these topics, and more.
* We do not provide accounting or legal services.
The Center’s seminars, workshops, and special events focus on subjects of particular interest to business owners and entrepreneurs. Workshops are typically 2-3 hours in length and participants leave the sessions with practical skills and knowledge that they can utilize immediately. These programs may be offered throughout the service region by SBDC staff, paid consultants, or volunteer presenters.
The SV SBDC offers access to a variety of resources to assist the business owner/ entrepreneur in researching, planning, and operating a small business. Staff and VBAs are knowledgeable about the range of services and service providers who can meet the needs of our business community.
