It’s National Small Business Week and Economic Development Week—and we’re celebrating the businesses that keep our communities strong 💼

But what exactly is a small business?

It’s your favorite coffee shop ☕
It’s the local contractor building homes 🏡
It’s the side hustle turning into something bigger 🚀

Small businesses bring jobs, innovation, and character to our communities—and every one of them starts with an idea and a leap of faith.

You don’t have to take that leap alone.

Virginia SBDC offers free advising and hands-on workshops to help you start, manage, and grow your business with confidence.

✨ Thinking about starting a business?
✨ Looking to grow or pivot?
✨ Need guidance from someone who gets it?

👉 Check out our upcoming events: https://clients.virginiasbdc.org/events.aspx

👉 Sign up to meet with an advisor: https://www.virginiasbdc.org/office-locations/

This week is about celebrating—but it’s also about taking the next step forward.

Let’s build something great together.

El crecimiento no ocurre de manera aislada—sucede a través del acceso, la orientación y la comunidad.
Este último mes, hemos ampliado el apoyo a emprendedores hispanohablantes mediante orientación práctica y nuestro primer taller de negocios en español. ¿El resultado? Conexiones más sólidas, menos barreras y más negocios avanzando con confianza.
Esto es solo el comienzo.



Growth doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens through access, guidance, and community.
This past month, we’ve expanded support for Spanish-speaking entrepreneurs through hands-on guidance and our first Spanish-language business training. The result? Stronger connections, fewer barriers, and more businesses moving forward with confidence.
We’re just getting started.
