Business Counseling
The Shenandoah Valley Small Business Development Center (SV SBDC) can help you start, manage, and grow your business.
We serve the experienced owner who wants to expand a business, solve business problems, do strategic planning, develop new ideas, enter new markets, or access expansion capital.
Our consulting services are free and confidential, usually at our Harrisonburg or Weyers Cave offices, but we also offer appointments in Highland County and Lexington). Call to set an appointment or use this inquiry form to start a conversation with a counselor: How May We Help You?
We also serve the aspiring entrepreneur who needs to understand the requirements for going into business, financial management issues, marketing issues and techniques, business plan development and implementation, and the qualifications for obtaining start-up funds.
If you are thinking about starting a new business, we recommend you begin by attending one of our Plan It / Start It seminars and/or working on your Outline of a Business Plan before making an appointment.
When you set an appointment, we will ask you to complete our Request for Counseling Form and the Pre-Counseling Questionnaire and fax or bring them with you to your meeting.
