On behalf of the Texas South-West SBDC Network, it is my pleasure to present our 2022 Annual Report.
For over 35 years, this network of Small Business Development Centers has served small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs with high quality advising, training and research. During the pandemic, this was no exception. As we learned to immediately pivot our operations to a virtual environment, small businesses faced the same challenge.
In order to help our small business clients survive (and even thrive) our skilled and talented team facilitated over $168m in disaster-related capital since March of 2020. Lessons learned enable us to offer SBDC services in a hybrid environment, and we continue to assist small businesses with our ever-changing marketplace.
The results of an annual, independent study of SBDC long-term clients indicates that for every dollar invested in the SBDC program, a return of $4.41 is generated. I am proud to be a part of this amazing resource, making the dreams of our clients a reality while contributing to the economy of the Great State of Texas.
