Louisiana Small Business Development Center


Welcome!


Since 1984, the Louisiana Small Business Development Center (LSBDC) has provided the tools and resources necessary to help businesses grow and compete in an increasingly challenging global economy. We offer FREE business consulting and affordable training seminars designed to help you attract customers, improve operations, increase sales, and successfully access capital.  Our interactions may be brief or long-term, but our ultimate objective is to improve Louisiana's economy through job creation and increased tax revenues and with an eye on the Louisiana Governors Vision 2020 Plan.  Our center is funded by the US Small Business Administration, Louisiana Economic Development, and Southeastern Louisiana University.

  • Obtained funding for 78% of our projects
