Consultation with the SBC Director on business-related issues is available Monday through Friday by phone or in the Small Business Center office. Literature is also available regarding business concerns such as: business plans, cash flow/record keeping, marketing, and sources of funding. Referrals can be made to cooperating agencies such as the North Carolina Business and Technology Development Center, the Microenterprise Loan Program, and the Surry JobLink Center.

Training and educational opportunities are also arranged by the Small Business Center. Examples include: How to Start Your Own Small Business, bookkeeping and tax education classes, workshops on marketing, microcomputer classes, and management seminars.
