Existing businesses have individualized needs as they progress through the launching stage and start to grow. SBTDC consulting teams have been formed throughout the state to specialize in specific areas to assist small business clients in determining where their company currently is; where their company has opportunity to grow; and their strategy and next steps for their company to pursue the best opportunities. 

The SBTDC has developed tools and services to assist existing businesses as they enter new markets, strengthen existing markets, and move away from markets with declining profit margins.
