We’re making a big impact on small business.


Last year, Santa Cruz SBDC helped more than 790 clients navigate through a pandemic and access $7 million in capital to start or grow their business and create a meaningful impact on our local community – the likes of 562 new jobs.

Whether it’s access to capital, human resources, compliance, marketing, accounting, or any other business need — SBDC is your one-stop-shop for accelerating small business success.
