• What is Online Business Consulting?
  On-line Business Consulting is free and confidential access to expert business advice for entrepreneurs and existing businesses. It is conducted by a Certified Business Analyst (CBA) from a Florida Small Business Development Center (SBDC).
• What should I expect?
  You will apply for services from your computer over our secure web application. Your application will be forwarded to the SBDC region serving the city you select. Within three working days you will be contacted by that region SBDC. The SBDC may refer you to internet resources based on your stated needs. At some point, you might decide to enroll in a seminar at an SBDC facility, spend time in an SBDC Business Resource Library, or visit the SBDC in person for advice. On-Line Business Consulting is designed to be flexible yet similar to the traditional office-based consulting experience.
