Small Business Development Center

Our Mission: Accelerate Ohio’s economy by helping people start, sustain and grow their businesses.

The Small Business Development Center at NSCC provides services to the general public, as well as current NSCC students and graduates. If you are interested in starting a business, or growing an existing business, reach out for personalized assistance.

The Small Business Development Center offers individualized, confidential advising and entrepreneurial training programs to current and prospective small business owners in Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Paulding and Williams Counties. Services are typically free of charge, although some workshops and seminars may require a fee.

Our center works to meet the diverse needs of the small business community by linking them with resources from federal, state and local governments; the educational community; and the economic development community.
