SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Description of the SBDC Program 

A partnership exists between SBA 

and an SBDC. SBDCs offer training, 

counseling and other business 

development assistance to small 

businesses. Each SBDC provides 

services under a negotiated Cooperative 

Agreement with the SBA. SBDCs 

operate on the basis of a state plan to 

provide assistance within a state or 

geographic area. The initial plan must 

have the written approval of the 

Governor. Non-Federal funds must 

match Federal funds. An SBDC must 

operate according to law, the 

Cooperative Agreement, SBA’s 

regulations, the annual Program 

Announcement, and program guidance. 

Program Objectives 

The SBDC program uses Federal 

funds to leverage the resources of states, 

academic institutions and the private 

sector to: 

(a) Strengthen the small business 

community; 

(b) increase economic growth; 

(c) assist more small businesses; and 

(d) broaden the delivery system to 

more small businesses. 

SBDC Program Organization 

The lead SBDC operates a statewide 

or regional network of SBDC service 

centers. An SBDC must have a full-time 

Director. SBDCs must use at least 80 

percent of the Federal funds to provide 

services to small businesses. SBDCs use 

volunteers and other low cost resources 

as much as possible. 

SBDC Services 

An SBDC must have a full range of 

business development and technical 

assistance services in its area of 

operations, depending upon local needs, 

SBA priorities and SBDC program 

objectives. Services include training and 

counseling to existing and prospective 

small business owners in management, 

marketing, finance, operations, 

planning, taxes, and any other general 

or technical area of assistance that 

supports small business growth. 

The SBA district office and the SBDC 

must agree upon the specific mix of 

services. They should give particular 

attention to SBA’s priority and special 

emphasis groups, including veterans, 

women, exporters, the disabled, and 

minorities. 

SBDC Program Requirements 

An SBDC must meet programmatic 

and financial requirements imposed by 

statute, regulations or its Cooperative 

Agreement. The SBDC must: 

(a) Locate service centers so that they 

are as accessible as possible to small 

businesses; 

(b) open all service centers at least 40 

hours per week, or during the normal 

business hours of its State or academic 

Host Organization, throughout the year;

Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 162 / Monday, August 24, 2009 / Notices 42705 

(c) develop working relationships 

with financial institutions, the 

investment community, professional 

associations, private consultants and 

small business groups; and 

(d) maintain lists of private 

consultants at each service center.
