BINGHAMTON — The New York Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) at Binghamton University and Corning Community College will merge, effective Oct. 1.
The move seeks to create a “comprehensive, full-service” organization that will provide assistance to small businesses in 12 New York counties, Binghamton said in a news release issued Monday.
The new alignment will “streamline” service delivery to current and “aspiring” small-business owners in the Central Southern Tier.
The organization will make available small-business advisors with specialties in procurement, agricultural business/tourism, lending, SBA (Small Business Administration) products, QuickBooks, succession planning, exporting, and technology/innovation.
“Since 1984, the two independent centers have helped 26,386 local small businesses invest $334,256,199, and create or save 16,243 jobs,” Rochelle Layman, regional director of the New York SBDC at Binghamton University, said in the school’s news release. “The SBDC is very excited about this merger, as it will increase the types of services offered across our region.”
After the merger, local SBDC advisors will continue to support those needing assistance, but providing it with administrative support and oversight from the regional office in Binghamton.
Besides its collaboration with the SBDC at Corning, the SBDC at Binghamton University has satellite offices in Ithaca and Oneonta, the school said.
“This new partnership represents a win-win-win scenario,” Katherine Douglas, president of Corning Community College, added in the news release. “Area entrepreneurs will continue to have convenient access to knowledgeable staff in the Corning area that will have the support of a regional center. Through the collaboration, these experts will have resources and information to assist with decision-making.”
