The Small Business Management program (SBM) is a unique combination of classroom learning, coaching from a professional business advisor and networking with one goal: making you and your business more successful.

You will benefit from monthly classroom sessions as you learn from seasoned professionals and interact with your small business peers. By the end of this course you will learn how to take the material from the classroom and apply it directly to your business.
Your course may also include:
- Monthly learning events
- Peer collaboration
- One-on-one coaching
- Professional networking
- Marketing planning
