Great business consulting takes both heart and know-how.

The LSBDC at Nicholls State University is looking for a Business Consultant to help entrepreneurs and small business owners across Louisiana’s Bayou Region build stronger businesses.

We’re looking for someone who can connect with business owners, understand where they want to go, and help them build a path forward. That means bringing strong business skills to the table—from developing financial projections and solid business plans to helping clients think through growth, funding, marketing, and other strategic decisions.

Just as important, it means meeting entrepreneurs where they are, asking the right questions, and helping them build the knowledge and confidence to move their businesses forward.
