» Electronic Request for Counseling

What is Online Business Consulting?
On-line Business Consulting is free and confidential access to expert business advice for entrepreneurs and existing businesses. It is conducted by a Certified Business Analyst (CBA) from a Florida Small Business Development Center (SBDC).

What should I expect?
You will apply for services from your computer over our secure web application. Your application will be forwarded to the SBDC region serving the city you select. Within three working days you will be contacted by that region SBDC. The SBDC may refer you to internet resources based on your stated needs. At some point, you might decide to enroll in a seminar at an SBDC facility, spend time in an SBDC Business Resource Library, or visit the SBDC in person for advice. On-Line Business Consulting is designed to be flexible yet similar to the traditional office-based consulting experience.

How do I get started?
On-Line Business Consulting services may vary from one regional SBDC to another. Regardless of which region or services you need, the first step is to fill out the Electronic Request for Counseling. This on-line form will start your relationship with the Florida SBDC Network where you will find the most up-to-date resources for your business information needs.
