Here’s a snapshot of the Florida SBDC at FGCU’s service offering, upcoming training and features stories.
Success Stories
“Following Hurricane Irma, our property sustained flood damage, including our guides' quarters and vehicles. Our marina and docks were also destroyed. The bridge loan provided the capital needed to repair basic equipment and quarters and provided payroll for the guides who cannot presently work. The [Florida SBDC at FGCU] was extremely reactive to our situation. I do not know how they could have been better. ”
