University Of Houston Texas Gulf Coast Small Business Development Center Network

I have thoroughly enjoyed my classes about entrepreneurship with UofH Texas Gulf. My first class was 'Doing business with HEB' and was absolutely phenomenal. Not only was knowledge shared from a good chain perspective, other entrepreneurs in the class shared valuable information, as well as networking. The next class I had taken was 'How to get your product on shelves", it too was a great experience. I highly recommend attending classes!

Awesome advice, guidance and coaching. Jasmin knew exactly what direction I was going with my business after I told her minor details. She was very informative and connected to put me in touch with more informative people! Can wait to meet with her again!

The orientation was enjoyable and informative. I have only had one follow-up meeting with Linda, but everything that I need to begin my journey as an entrepreneur was addressed. I am quite pleased with this service, and am looking forward to owning a successful business, due to my relationship with SBDC.

The Gulf Coast SBDC is an excellent concept for those starting out. My initial meeting with Kim Way was phenomenal. Her willingness to listen and share ideas, opinions put me at ease. Six thumbs up. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend this business. Everyone has consistently been outstanding, exceeding my expectations. I was completely impressed with their professionalism and all the Valuable information they provided to get our business started. They have also kept in touch after we opened to check on us.

When my small cottage food business began to grow, I met more than a few times with a SBDC Business Advisor. It was so helpful that I have passed her name on the multiple colleagues. I have also attended several free workshops, and I am confident that I am a stronger small business owner due to the help and guidance I've been given from the SBDC.

Navigating the world of small business can be daunting, but thanks to the SBDC advisors I've had great experiences and received helpful knowledge. Charles Capers helped pair me with Margarey Valdez for marketing support and both offered a wealth of knowledge. Their relaxed and approachable demeanor makes them the go-to resource for aspiring entrepreneurs in the Gulf Coast region. Whether you're just starting your business or looking to expand, their guidance is invaluable.

The UH SBDC has been instrumental in my forming of Mimik Essentials as well as in my mentorship to The REACH Project teaching entrepreneurship to the future/current business owners. The access is so friendly, understandable and available at your finger tips! Spread the word as it can be life changing to use so many free resources. Their personnel is so professional and helpful as well. The webinars are full of so many incredible subjects - just unlimited resources!

The help I received was invaluable to my business's grow. I am so grateful I found out about this organization. My adviser has been a true asset to me.
Thank you

In trying to grow my Small Business the past few years. SBCDC has been of great help to me. An Excellent place to network with like minded individuals.

Fantastic helping us two minority women start our next business. Very helpful and I loved their meetings including on how to use quick book and insta etc

The team of advisors at U of H Texas Gulf Coast SBDC offer first rate collaborative advice and resources to help businesses grow. The advisors at the SBDC are particularly helpful for small businesses seeking objective information and support to achieve their goals.

The SBDC is a wonderful free resource for anyone that already has a business or someone that is looking to start a business in Houston. I work with clients to help find them a franchise business and often times will direct them the SBDC to get help building a business plan for loan packaging for an SBA loan. They also have access to very robust market research that would normally cost thousands that they can offer for free for specific market data analysis. They also have ongoing educational webinars and in-person workshops. I've been a speaker there and have taught classes on different topics related to finding a franchise and the facility and staff is top notch. I definitely recommend the SBDC for all small businesses looking for supportive resouces.

Helped us get our business started, and have provided valuable education since. Highly recommended if you want to start or improve your business.

The Small Business Center has helped me in so many ways! I am so grateful to have them as a business resource and owe my growth to the SBDC!

They have been extremely helpful with our questions. We move a little slower than most, so their patience has been appreciated.

I recently was there for a training course! Omg it was amazing! The course was in Spanish with very professional expositors! The best part? It was FREE
