The Pennsylvania Small Business Development Centers are so beyond grateful for the help we can provide to new, growing, and continuous small businesses. Here we welcome clients to take the opportunity to share with their state legislators their real life experiences throughout the course of their business. We understand that times have been difficult to navigate the past few years, and the Pennsylvania SBDC network is and always will be here to help navigate through these times and the bright future. Please take a few minutes to send a personalized message about your business and the way the PASBDC has helped your business in ways you are truly grateful. 

 

The intent of the message is to be sent to your personal legislators, based on your home voting address, to show your support for your local Small Business Development Center and discuss the help you have received from your personal consultant. The goal is to express to legislators that you have utilized your SBDC consultant and have seen the benefits your consultant has brought to you, whether that be over the last few months or last few years. Should you need any talking points please see below for some facts that the SBDC network has brought to small businesses across the state of Pennsylvania.
