Small business has become the backbone of our national economy. It is the source of most jobs created and the primary training ground for people entering the workforce. We are the volunteer arm of the Small Business Administration (SBA), a non-profit association dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small business throughout Miami-Dade County. We provide confidential one-to-one counseling, seminars and workshops to help people start and operate successful small business. Ours is one among many chapters, and our volunteer members, who are both retired or actively engaged in their business of profession, are among more than 12,500 nationwide helping clients solve their management problems and create stronger, more efficient businesses.

Of primary interest to our clients, is the widely diversified background of our members. Members are both retired and working professionals, and usually have a minimum of 20 years experience in their dedicated field. We are looking for volunteers to assist us in accomplishing our mission. We are looking for men and women with experience in business start-ups, financing, planning, marketing, retailing and merchandising, engineering, or other aspects of small business management.

Guidance and support, based on their years of experience in the business world, can play an important role in helping small businesses acheive success.
