The Temple University Small Business Development Center attended this year’s Pennsylvania Small Business Development Centers (SBDC) annual Growth Summit, an event dedicated to professional development, collaboration, and strengthening the impact of our network across the state.

Congratulations to two members of our center for being recognized with awards during the summit, including Top Startups Award and Rising Star Award! 🏆

Their dedication, expertise, and commitment to supporting entrepreneurs and small businesses continue to make a meaningful impact in our community.

We’re grateful to be part of the PASBDC network that values collaboration, innovation, and professional growth. Opportunities like this strengthen our center's ability to better serve the businesses and communities we work with every day.

Congratulations all of the award recipients across our network, and thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s summit a success! ⭐

Is your credit holding you back from business funding? The SSBCI Credit Counseling Cohort is a structured 4-week program designed for Pennsylvania entrepreneurs who are looking to start a business or are already in business and need to strengthen their credit as part of their path toward accessing capital.

If credit challenges are preventing you from qualifying for business financing, this program provides the tools, guidance, and accountability needed to move forward with confidence. This is not general credit counseling—it is designed specifically for individuals working toward business ownership and access to capital.

⚠️ Space is limited. Participants will be selected based on fit, eligibility, and commitment. Applications close Wednesday, May 20th, and an interview process will take place the week of 25th. Space is limited to 20 business owners. Pennsylvania Small Business Development Centers (SBDC)
