Transform Your Business Goals Into Results
You have ambitious goals but don’t always have the direction or connections to get there. The SBDC can be your go-to resource to build a strong framework. We partner closely with banks, chambers of commerce, economic development organizations and others across southeast Wisconsin to match your specific needs. The Small Business Development Center supports entrepreneurs and business owners through no-cost, confidential consulting and educational programs.

Through our UW-Milwaukee office we serve owners in Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington counties and beyond. SBDC Services are provided in a nondiscriminatory way to all legal residents and citizens of the U.S.
