The Utah Small Business Development Center (SBDC) provides free, confidential assistance to entrepreneurs and small-business owners across Utah. Its certified consultants work one-on-one with businesses at every stage, from evaluating an idea and launching a startup to expanding an established company or planning for succession.

 

Services include business planning, financial analysis, access to capital, market research, marketing and sales strategy, government contracting, technology commercialization and operational guidance.

 

The SBDC also offers free or low-cost workshops, online courses and other educational resources. The statewide network is supported by the U.S. Small Business Administration, Utah State University Extension and the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity.
