 What are people saying about the EAC Small Business Development Center?
"I just completed my QuickBooks training that was provided by the SBDC. Wow! What a weight off my shoulders. Not only did she show me how to navigate the software more easily, but she showed me how to amend my chart of accounts to keep track of the info I need for taxes in a much more concise and workable way. I'm so grateful the SBDC was able to provide such a knowledgeable and personable consultant/trainer. Being able to come to my business location made it so much more convenient. This was a much appreciated service.
Thank you for being there for me."
