Massachusetts Small Business Center at Clark University

Massachusetts Small Business Development Center at Clark University (SBDC)- 
  The Massachusetts Small Business Development Center Network Central Regional
  Office is located in the Historic District on the campus of Clark University. We provide
  free and confidential one-to-one management advice and technical assistance to
  prospective and existing small businesses. Our business advisors will assist clients in
  developing their business plans, marketing plans, financials, cash flows and other
  areas critical to ensure a successful venture. Often times, we will also act as a
  common access point for financing, and upon evaluation by our staff, can recommend
  or even introduce owners to the appropriate federal, state or local financing sources.
  They also work actively with local banks and the SBA, especially when SBA loan
  guarantees may be required to finance the venture or expansion. Their clientele
  includes start-up, early stage, expanding and troubled businesses. All programs are
  offered to the public on a non-discriminatory basis.

An expert business counselor is available at the Chamber office on Thursdays to provide high quality, one-to-one management and technical assistance in a variety of areas including finance, marketing, business plans and accounting to new, expanding and/or challenged businesses.   Contact the Chamber Office to schedule an appointment at (508) 879-5600
