Helping businesses start, grow, and flourish… that’s the mission of the East Central Indiana Small Business Development Center (SBDC). Business advisors provide confidential, no-cost consultation services to businesses in the East Central Indiana region. These services are covered by tax funding through the Small Business Association (SBA) and local funding sources. The SBA considers any company employing fewer than 500 people to be a small business.
The East Central Indiana SBDC’s team has access to a variety of valuable tools. Scott Underwood serves as the primary business advisor to the Henry County area and has helped many area businesses start successfully and guided existing businesses toward growth.
To access these services, simply contact Scott at 765-686-1041 or send an email to sunderwood@isbdc.org.
