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 SBA, the general

management and oversight of SBA, and

a state plan initially approved by 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.
45002 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 164 / Monday, August 25, 1997 / Notices

SBDC Program Organization

The lead SBDC operates a statewide

or regional network of SBDC subcenters.

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 subcenters so that they are

as accessible as possible to small

businesses;

(b) Open all subcenters at least 40

hours per week, or during the normal

business hours of its state or academic

Host Organization, throughout the year;

(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 subcenter.
