SBDC Network Specialists are available to assist small businesses in manufacturing, exporting, government contracting, and certification for minority owned and women owned businesses. Counselors are available to meet with clients in Clermont County and at the Clermont Chamber of Commerce.
Services are offered at low cost or no cost to those who own, operate or wish to start a for-profit small business.
An entrepreneur or owner must have a strong personal commitment to finding and implementing solutions to issues facing that company. The Ohio SBDC at the Clermont Chamber consulting approach is one of guidance and education, not completing the work for the client.
