The SC SBDC is excited to collaborate with lenders and other service providers to jointly offer assistance that can improve the sustainability and economic impact of businesses and entrepreneurs in rural areas throughout South Carolina.
This partnership focuses on expanding and enhancing services to (1) increase business growth and success; and (2) create economic growth and prosperity in rural and low-income areas.
​
The overarching objectives of The BRIDGE are to:
-
Expand outreach and awareness of small business services in rural communities throughout the state of South Carolina;
-
Enhance and tailor business assistance to meet the needs of these entrepreneurs; and
-
Engage these enterprises in the challenge to pursue goals that advance both their own businesses AND local communities.
If you are a current or emerging small business owner who desires to both improve your business growth and sustainability, and to support economic development in your local community, we invite you to take the challenge.
