Small Business Development Center

The purpose of the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) is to enhance economic development in northeast Indiana by assisting new and existing small business. In order to achieve this mission, the SBDC relies on the support of its hosts, IPFW and the Richard T. Doermer School of Business.

Some collaborative initiatives and assistance received from the Richard T. Doermer School of Business include:

• The Collegiate Management Program
• Various business course development
• The Entrepreneurship in the Arts certificate program
• Marketing and research analysis
• Business Counseling
• Certified NxLevel™ faculty

When you visit the SBDC Web site you can request to meet with a business advisor, one on one, at no charge to you. Along with counseling we offer workshops at very minimal fees, on site internet access as well as a resource library.
