The Kansas Small Business Development Center (Kansas SBDC) is part of America's Small Business Development Center Network, the most comprehensive small business assistance network in the United States. Our purpose is to help existing and aspiring Kansas business owners achieve their goals in a complex local, regional, and global marketplace. At the Kansas SBDC, we work to understand your business and its opportunities by forging relationships with your team that facilitate trust, cooperation, and ultimately meet your definition of success. Our team of advisors is here to make sure your business has what it needs to be successful. Whether you are trying to strengthen an existing business, pull together a succession plan, or even start a new business, the SBDC is here to provide advice, resources, and support. Each year we assist more than 14,000 businesses like yours. Some have been in business for 50 years, some for five, and others are ready to get started. Our advising services are provided at no cost due to support from the U.S. Small Business Administration, State of Kansas, higher education institutes from across the state, and other local and regional partners.
