Small Business Development Center
Creating a Culture of Prosperity
The CNM Small Business Development Center (SBDC) helps people start and run small businesses that generate wealth for their owners. In the strictest sense, the CNM SBDC is in the business of creating and nurturing skilled entrepreneurs and strong businesses.
You can be an entrepreneur if you invest your time, energy and resources in a business that provides others with a valuable or needed product or service. Your good idea planted in well-prepared ground and tended conscientiously can grow into a business. As your business grows, you will hire employees; this is the very essence of "grassroots" economic development. It is our mission to help you maximize the return on your investment.
Helping You Achieve Your Dreams
The SBDC provides valuable assistance to owners of small businesses and to individuals considering starting a business. The SBDC links federal, state, and local resources to assist the potential or existing small business owner in achieving their business goals.
We specialize in consulting and training and in providing resources and referrals. Our clients receive assistance in areas such as:
- Assembling a loan package
- Writing a business plan
- Designing a marketing plan
- Conducting market research
- Analyzing financial statements
- Preparing financial projections
- Entering global markets
The CNM SBDC is funded by the New Mexico State Legislature and the Small Business Administration.
