Abstract
Headquartered at Iowa State University, the Iowa Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) began operations in 1982 and are comprised of more than a dozen offices spread across the state. Each regional assistance center works with nearby universities, community colleges, chambers of commerce, and other institutions to assist small business with local, national, or even international concerns. These centers offer free consulting services, training in business management, finance, and related operations, and comprehensive information resources. This collection includes administrative reviews, annual reports, correspondence, financial audits, newsletters, and publications. Many of the reviews and audits are of the various SBDC offices across the state. |
