Small Business Development Center

The Small Business Development Center at Jefferson

Serving the counties of Jefferson, Lewis, and Oswego

We think New York is great for small business -- and so do our clients.

Since our start in 1986, the expert advisors of the WATERTOWN SBDC have worked directly with 15,039 businesses, helping them to invest $120,756,473 in the area's economy, who have created or saved 5,116 jobs.

Each of our advisors has either owned or owns a small business, so we know the needs of the local community. Whether it is assisting entrepreneurs who have an interest in e-commerce, or the burgeoning local tourist industry, or in developing procurement contacts with nearby Fort Drum, we have the expertise to bring success to your new or emerging business. In addition to our office in Watertown, we also offer services in Lewis and Oswego Counties.

And thanks to our partners in the public and private sectors, our services are free of charge.

We're experienced, proven, available, and free. Some of your competitors may have used us, with great success. Why don't you?
