Small Business Success Stories

There is nothing more satisfying for staff members of the Small Business Development Center than to watch one of our clients take the start-up information we provide and the advice we offer along the way and turn it into a fully operational business that supports their family, creates local jobs, and fulfills their dreams at the same time.

We offer you a few examples of the successes here in our SBDC’s Florence Area office and hope you’ll find them inspirational as you begin your own journey toward owning a business. And you’ll note as we post more stories,  that the businesses we assist represent a wide variety of business types, from the smallest of retailers to a corporation involved in the construction industry  ...... from a business to supplement income for a single person, to businesses that provide a living for several employees. Whether you have a business idea you’re trying to fine tune, or an existing business that you want to expand, the SBDC is here to help!
