What's In A Name?

 

The Michigan Small Business (& Technology) Development Center has made a huge and exciting decision...we are changing our name. Beginning this month, SBTDCs throughout the state will be known as SBDCs.

We were the first SBDC to successfully pass the rigorous A-SBDC technology accreditation. At present, only 11 states hold this designation.
