Helping Businesses Start, Grow and Prosper...
Founded in January 2007, Widener University Small Business Development Center is one of 18 SBDCs in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The center provides free and confidential consulting services to entrepreneurs as well as educational workshops for which we charge a nominal fee. Widener SBDC is strongly committed to helping small businesses (for our purposes, a small business is defined as having less than $20 million in revenue per year and fewer than 500 employees). While our workshops are open to all, our consulting services are generally limited to for-profit ventures. We are conveniently located in the University Technology Park (UTP-2) building at 1350 Edgmont Avenue in Chester, PA. Staff ExpertiseAll services are provided by our staff of highly qualified consultants. In addition to practical experience in operating small businesses themselves, our staff has more than 120 years of business experience and holds advanced degrees in Business, Economics and Psychology. Widener SBDC also taps the expertise of industry experts, successful entrepreneurs, and other business professionals to deliver its educational programs.
ImpactServices from the state-wide network of SBDC's have helped small firms throughout Pennsylvania raise more than $1 billion in start-up and expansion capital, start thousands of new companies, and sell billions of dollars worth of Pennsylvania products and services throughout the world. As a result, SBDC clients have created tens of thousands of new jobs and generated more than $325,000,000 in new state and federal tax revenue.
