Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center

Assisting Arkansas businesses has been the mission of the Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center (ASBTDC) since its inception in 1979. Part of a national network of more than 1,000 small business development centers, the ASBTDC serves the business community of Arkansas through a statewide network of offices. The ASBTDC provides training, consulting, and research services and is the state’s premier business assistance program.

The SAU SBTDC operates as a regional office of the Arkansas Small and Technology Business Development Center, a statewide network of seven regional offices located on university campuses throughout the state. Any new venture or existing business may receive assistance from the center.

 We welcome you to our website. Please take a few minutes to tour the various programs that the SBTDC office has to offer. The SAU SBTDC serves the following counties: Calhoun, Columbia, Hempstead, Lafayette, Little River, Miller, Nevada, Ouachita, and Union. Your e-mails, phone calls, and letters are always welcome and appreciated. We look forward to getting to know you and serving small businesses in our area!
