The Small Business Development Center (SBDC) was established in 1989 by Northland Pioneer College and the Small Business Administration to help increase the number of successful small businesses in Northeastern Arizona. The SBDC joins nine such centers in Arizona - one of 50 participating states. Northland's center serves Navajo and Apache counties. Its programs, resources and services focus on a broad range of business issues. The SBDC staff and consultants work with clients to identify problem areas and develop strategies to deal with the problem. The SBDC provides quality educational programs, access to resources, and "one-on-one" counseling to small businesses throughout the region. The primary goal of the SBDC is "working with small businesses to maximize their success."
The SBDC offers confidential, no cost counseling services to small business owners. Counseling is offered in various locations throughout the region, usually in facilities operated by Northland or other participating agencies. The no cost counseling is offered in Winslow, Holbrook, Snowflake/Taylor, Show Low, Pinetop/Lakeside, St. Johns, Springerville/Eagar, and on the Navajo, Hopi and Apache reservations.
The SBDC hosts and co-sponsors seminars and classes for small businesses, dealing with subjects such as starting a new business, writing a business plan, taxes, financing, time management, team building, minority certification, women-owned businesses, customer service, marketing, management and others. The SBDC provides a host of short-term options for small businesses in various computer programs including Quick Books, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, Microsoft PowerPoint, Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer, Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Front Page, Microsoft Publisher and Microsoft Windows.
The SBDC's services are normally accessed first through a call to the SBDC main office in Show Low at (928) 532-6170. Appointments can be made at any of the previously described locations by a small business counselor, either in-person or through a video conferencing system that links to the outlying locations. Classes and seminars are promoted at campuses and other sites with posters and flyers, and in the regularly published NPC Class Schedule that is sent to all locations in the service area. To enroll in classes, a person can register at any Northland location. To attend a seminar one would phone the number given on the poster, flyer, or newspaper press release.
The SBDC utilizes the media regularly with press releases, and articles concerning small business topics and events. Referrals from banking institutions, cities, chambers of commerce, economic development organizations, SBA, and other clients are often the best sources of new clients for the counseling program. The SBDC has a Web page at www.npcsbdc.com where clients can access the services online, by completing a request-for-counseling form and using email and other communications.
The Small Business Development Centers are partially funded by the Small Business Administration under cooperative agreement ?3-603001-Z-0003-11. The support given by the US SBA through such funding does not constitute an express or implied endorsement of any of the co-sponsor(s) opinions, products, or services
