Columbia University Small Business Development Center

The Columbia University Small Business Development Center (SBDC) helps entrepreneurs build and grow their companies. Located within Columbia Business School, the center is committed to supporting the economic sustainability of New Yorkers—one business at a time.

Unlike other small business assistance programs, we offer intensive one-on-one management consulting to our clients, allowing us to truly build a strong relationship with them. We have thus cultivated a network of experts, mentors, and program alumni in all industries. The SBDC leverages the resources of Columbia Business School to give clients access to world-renowned faculty members, business students, and alumni business leaders.

Since 2009

The Columbia University Small Business Development Center (CUSBDC) has been part of the community of Upper Manhattan since 2009. Funded by the United States Small Business Administration, the CUSBDC is one of 900 centers across the country that offers management consulting, training provided by expert professionals to future and existing small and midsize  enterprises.
