Florida has always been a land of bold visionaries and dreamers. From the early explorers and space pioneers to visionaries like Walt Disney who imagined entire worlds into existence, entrepreneurship is deeply embedded in Florida’s DNA. That same spirit continues today in the more than 3.5 million small businesses that call Florida home.
As the State Director of the Florida Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Network, it’s an honor to witness firsthand the inspiring courage, determination, and passion of our state’s small business owners. Small businesses are more than the backbone of our economy — they are the hearts and souls of our communities.
At the Florida SBDC Network, we are proud to walk alongside our small business heroes. For nearly 50 years, we’ve helped small businesses turn their dreams into reality — providing expert guidance, resources and support at every stage of the journey. Whether you’re launching a new idea or looking to scale operations, our statewide team is here to help you succeed.
As the business landscape continues to evolve — we remain committed to helping small businesses navigate change and seize new opportunities.
On behalf of the Florida SBDC Network, thank you for choosing to build your dream in Florida. We’re honored to be part of your journey.
