Business Advising

Advising services

When you meet with one of our advisors, he or she will discuss how NH SBDC can be of help. Together we will help you develop your goals and make a plan for meeting them. We will meet with you to review your progress and for follow-ups. The advising process is different depending upon if you are starting a brand new business or if you are already in business, and how much planning you’ve already done before seeking our help. We will provide timely information, links to resources and act as a sounding board for your questions and concerns. However, the responsibility for implementing our suggestions, such as writing a business plan, will rest with you.

At the start of the advising process, your advisor will go through a “request for service” form with you. Along the way, you’ll be asked to provide additional information to us that we will use to evaluate our services and document the impact of small businesses on New Hampshire’s economy. The entire process is confidential. We will work with you to modify goals and develop new ones as your business grows. If you have met your goals, you are always welcome to return for help as new issues arise in your business.
