SBDC is a Great Place to Get Started!

When getting started with a new business, some people may not know where to turn for assistance.  Small Business Development Centers such as Winthrop University's SBDC is a great place to start.  The Winthrop SBDC is managed by several professionals - Larry Stevenson, Carol Daly, Forrest Norman, and staffed by MBA students.  These students bring you energy and enthusiasm for your new endeavor in addition to fresh knowledge that they have acquired through their program of study.

At the SBDC, you can get help with your particular type of company - all the details of how to get started.  They will also help you develop your business plan and financial projections, assist with marketing materials, provide honest feedback and advice, assist with completing loan applications, and more.  They also host seminars and workshops to help you increase your skill level. 

Whether you live in Rock Hill, South Carolina, or not, you can find a SBDC in your area.  In some states, the centers are called Small Business and Technology Centers.  These centers are funded through the United States Small Business Administration so the assistance is generally FREE!

Furthermore, the SBDC will continue to provide you assistance when you need it as you grow your business.
