The West Virginia Small Business Development Center (WVSBDC) has the tools you need to build your business.

The Small Business Ask Me! Line connects entrepreneurs with information on business services available in the state. The consultants at the toll-free 888-982-7232 number review your needs and direct you to services and resources that match.

WVSBDC provides free, one-on-one confidential coaching services that give the entrepreneur an overview of what is involved in starting, sustaining or expanding a business and helps develop a plan for a successful operation.

While the WVSBD does not make loans, counselors can help the business owner identify financial packages and prepare documents to secure capital to meet start-up, expansion and other business goals.
