Who We Are...
The SBDC is a partnership program with the U.S. Small Business Administration and Northeast Texas Community College designed to provide small businesses with the practical assistance needed to survive, grow and prosper. The SBDC program is a nationwide small business assistance network that links the resources of federal, state and local governments to those of colleges, universities and the private sector to meet the specialized needs of small businesses. Our mission is to help new entrepreneurs realize their dream of business ownership and to help existing small businesses remain competitive in the complex marketplace of an ever-changing global economy.
