Valley Sierra Small Business Development Center

As a recent client of SBCD, I can't begin to express my gratitude to my consultant and coach Rhonda Lowe, as well as everyone that assisted me over the last year. I would never have opened my new business, Peace of Mind Elder Care Navigators, without the guidance and support from SBDC. If you have a small business already and need some support and direction, or you have a dream of owning your own business, don't wait - call them today.

I am so incredibly grateful that I found the Valley Sierra SBDC! I had recently graduated with my MBA and had huge plans to purchase the property our company was leasing and make it into a eco resort near Yosemite. The down side, we had limited capital and very little finance experience. We leaned into the SBDC knowing they would be able to help us navigate the complicated process. After a few classes and presentations we were paired with consultant Nate Henderson to bring our dreams into reality. Comme

The Valley Sierra SBDC is amazing. Every workshop I've been to has been jam packed full of value; the consultants and coaches they have on staff are amazing and extremely passionate about what they do. I worked with Rhonda Lowe and Chris Carroll and they were both pivotal to me getting my business set up properly and my website functional. Also, if you're ?on the fence? about working with the SBDC, make the leap. Support our local SBDC- they need us entrepreneurs as much as we need them!

They have really helped me get my business off the ground running. And they help at every step - even the very beginning of just exploring the idea of going into business for yourself. I really cannot recommend Valley Sierra Small Business enough to those who are thinking of or have a small business.

For many entrepreneurs, especially starting out, we don't know what we don't know. That is where the real value of SBDC shines. With expert business advisors they are able to meet any of us wherever we are at on the pathway to start or grow our business. I have used it for marketing assistance and learning to be a better professional presenter. I even had help with writing my book. I encourage anyone who wants to start or grow their business with less overwhelm to take advantage of SBDC services.

Valley Sierra SBDC helped guide me through the steps needed to get my business up and running. While I already had a lot of pieces of the puzzle in motion, Rhonda helped by giving me the tools necessary to get organized and ready to successfully begin. The meetings she held with me gave me accountability, feedback, and more resources when I needed them. Thank you so much for providing these amazing (and free!) services to entrepreneurs like me!
