Maryland Small Business Development Centers

The Maryland Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) help emerging businesses grow into leading businesses by offering business counseling, management assistance and valuable training. Maryland maintains a network of 15 Small Business Development Center satellite offices across the State in four major regions, with headquarters in College Park.

This statewide network represents a partnership between the U.S. Small Business Administration and the University of Maryland College Park, and its goal is to provide small and emerging businesses with training, confidential business counseling and management assistance.

No matter where you are in Maryland, help for your small business is as close as the nearest satellite office. SBDCs can help you develop or refine a business plan, solve problems and find sources of capital. These free consulting services can even include brainstorming and strategy development.
