Testimonials
“I know the critical role small businesses play in job creation and fueling the economic growth of the local region. New Jersey’s small businesses have a dedicated ally in the NJSBDC network, which is deeply invested in making our state and my district better. Working in cooperation with elected officials and government at all levels, NJSBDC has proven to be a valuable resource and ardent supporter of entrepreneurs and small business owners looking to plant roots in our state. I’ve been proud to work with many NJSBDC clients in South Jersey on developing public-private partnerships and I am deeply appreciative to receive NJSBDC’s ‘Business Advocate Award’.”
Rep Frank A. LoBiondo
(2nd District New Jersey)
"As a former small business owner, I understand that it's vital for New Jersey's economy to make sure our workers and small businesses have the skills they need to compete and grow. The NJSBDC is a striking success by educating business owners about the skills and strategies that will elevate the performance of their businesses and in doing so enhance and enrich the communities in which they work.”
Assemblyman Joseph Cryan
(Legislative District 20- part of Union County)
"I believe I speak for many of my colleagues in the Legislature while offering my continued support for the NJSBDC and looking forward to an ongoing partnership to better enable small businesses to grow and prosper.”
Assemblyman Louis D. Greenwald
(Legislative District 6 – part of Camden County)
Client Quotes
I have received financing in the amount of $250,000. Because of their help, we were able to move into a larger facility, expand our product lines and hire new employees.
LM, West Berlin.
“
After being downsized by AT&T, SBDC counselors helped me in many ways. Through the SBDC, I gained the knowledge necessary and confidence to start my own business. If the SBDC had not been there, I definitely would not have created my own company. Due to free counseling services of the SBDC and the SEA program I gained the knowledge and confidence to start my own business that has generated over $11,000 of NJ tax revenue that would not have been realized without the SBDC.
JS, Holmdel.
“ I received SBDC assistance to help me start my business in 2006. Since then, I have received financing in the amount of $50,000.00 due to their assistance and this has helped me expand my business with essential working capital.
MC, Clifton.

2009 NETWORK-WIDE ECONOMIC IMPACT DELIVERABLES
The NJSBDC’s statewide network of 11 centers and specialty programs on procurement, international trade, technology commercialization and e-commerce achieved the following during 2009:
- Provided 6,135 entrepreneurs and small business owners with one-on-one customized, management consulting and counseling, 51 percent of which were established businesses;
- Sponsored 832 training events statewide attended by 14,392 aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners;
- Facilitated the creation of 730 new businesses;
- Helped facilitate $30.4 million in loans and equity investment for small business clients at a time when lending institutions’ loan considerations have dramatically declined since the Wall Street fallout in September 2008;
- Assisted small business owners and entrepreneurs with saving 10,837 jobs and creating 1,799 new jobs.
In addition to creating and retaining jobs, the network found in a recent analysis that for every $1 the state invests in the NJSBDC, $5.60 is returned to New Jersey. This surpasses the NJSBDC prior years’ return-on-investment analyses.
