The Connecticut Small Business Development Center (CTSBDC) provides no-cost business advising to small business owners and entrepreneurs to start, grow and thrive in Connecticut.

Our professional staff of 18 Business Advisors offers confidential and expert business advising to small business owners and entrepreneurs to overcome challenges and reach their goals.
 
From the entrepreneur looking for help developing their business plan, to the experienced business owner who is perhaps looking to pivot their business at this time, CTSBDC Business Advisors have the expertise you can count on.
​
Our business advising includes not only an assessment of business plans, but access to resources and tools to grow business, such as: 

  • Geographic-based demographics
  • Consumer spending data
  • Market research
  • Financial projections
  • Industry reports and more

“Working with my advisor was easy, fun, and a great experience. For other small business owners considering working with the CTSBDC, it will be one of the smartest things you do.”
​- Gary Wright, owner of Wright Transportation
Through our connections with various traditional and non-traditional lending institutions, we help business owners get access to capital when it is needed most.
 
Registering for advising services is at no-cost to small business owners. After submitting an initial inquiry, business owners will be connected with a Business Advisor who will work closely with them to understand their business. We want to help ensure business owners have all the tools they need to make sure their business succeeds.
 
We understand that small businesses may be facing unprecedented challenges at this time and we are here to help.

The CTSBDC is located at 222 Pitkin St, East Hartford, CT 06108. Learn more by clicking here, watching this video or on Facebook by clicking here.
 
The Connecticut Small Business Development Center exists as a partnership between the US Small Business Administration, Connecticut’s Department of Economic and Community Development, and UCONN’s School of Business.  ​
