SBCN: Small Business Center Network
The SBC at CVCC is one of 58 centers that comprise the Small Business Center Network of the North Carolina Community College System.
Each is charged with providing high-quality, readily-accessible information, education, counseling and referrals to startups, business owners and their employees.
SBCs are funded in part by the local college, in part by local governments, and in part by state tax dollars. They exist to help you gain access to the knowledge and skills you need to become and remain a successful business owner.
