Small Business Center

 

The Edgecombe Community College Small Business Center is part of a statewide network designed to support and promote small business growth. The SBC offers a multi-faceted approach to facilitating business development by providing prospective and current small business owners with a central point of contact for information, education, and assistance.

The Center sponsors low- and no-cost seminars, workshops, and continuing education courses on a variety of topics that are of interest to entrepreneurs and their employees. A sampling of the sessions regularly offered include Starting Your Own Business, Writing a Business Plan, Financing a Small Business, Advertising and Marketing Your Business, and Bookkeeping. Customized programs can be designed for business and industry upon request.

A resource center with periodicals, tapes, and books is housed in Building H on the Tarboro campus. Business planning software and access to personal computer systems with Internet connection is available for clients who wish to conduct research or develop a business plan.

Free one-on-one counseling is provided by appointment on either ECC campus or at the business location at times that are convenient for the businessperson.
