The Small Business Development Center at Wright State University offers free business expertise to area business owners.

“This resource is here and it’s prepaid. They paid for it with their tax dollars,” said SBDC business advisor Earl Gregorich, noting that the free service just got an international upgrade by merging with the International Trade Assistance Center.

“It will enhance the operation of the SBDC and it directly addresses part of our mission at the business school, to strengthen our ability to enhance economic development in the Dayton area,” said Berkwood Farmer, dean of the Raj Soin College of Business.

“The local businesses now have access to an export center that will help them determine where in the world are their best markets and help entering and selling into those markets,” said Kathy Marshalek, an award-winning matchmaker for Dayton region businesses and foreign markets.

“The students will be able to work with these exporters through internships and educational opportunities,” she said.
