Vision – “to transform Mississippi one business at a time”.

Mission – to provide high quality technical assistance to aspiring business owners with the goal of getting businesses open or expanded on a sound business and financial footing.

We have a business library that covers a wide range of business related topics and other resources. Also, clients can access demographic and industry data to help develop their business plan. 

We have knowledgeable and experienced business counselors who assist in making a business dream become reality. We offer workshops on a monthly basis which provide valuable information for starting and planning a business.  

Register to attend a workshop or to schedule a confidential counseling session at our network website – www.mssbdc.org.  Registration to attend a workshop is essential to ensure we have enough materials for all attendees and seating is limited.  

We look forward to hearing from you soon or seeing you in one of the workshops.
