The Massachusetts Small Business Development Center provides free, confidential, one-to-one business advice and free or low-cost workshops to prospective and existing small businesses. We provide assistance to individuals contemplating a business venture, along with new, existing, expanding and troubled businesses.
If you wish to schedule an appointment with a business advisor, please complete our online Request for Counseling form. This information will be sent directly to our office. In most cases, a staff member will get back to you to make an appointment within two business days. You will receive an email confirmation from centeric@clients.msbdc.org. Please add this email address to your safe sender list so the confirmation is delivered to your inbox.
All clients are required to complete a Request for Counseling prior to receiving business advisory services.
If you cannot complete the online Request for Counseling, please call our office for assistance at 978.542.6343.
By contacting our office and requesting at least two weeks in advance, every attempt will be made to reasonably accommodate persons with disabilities and those who need translation services.
