About this listen

Struggling to grow your business but can’t afford pricey consultants? Discover a powerful, often-overlooked resource: the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at FGCU. Regional Director Dorian Zwierewicz explains how this taxpayer-funded program offers completely free, expert support for entrepreneurs at every stage.

Founded in 1976 to fill a gap for small businesses—who create half of U.S. jobs—the SBDC provides confidential guidance on business planning, funding, marketing, and more. Their specialists connect entrepreneurs with government contracts, lenders, and even global markets through services that would cost thousands elsewhere.

Their impact is real: one entrepreneur grew a produce business from $350K to $4M in three years with SBDC help. Others credit the center with post-disaster recovery after Hurricane Ian.

The SBDC also builds community with events like the Women Excel conference and CEO Exchange for growth-stage businesses.
