Abstract

This workshop will explore the policy lessons and evaluation evidence from one of the world's most renowned and long-standing SME support initiatives: the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) programme of the United States Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBDC programme delivers individualised advisory services and technical assistance to existing SMEs, as well as pre-venture entrepreneurs. The lead of the national SBDC programme will introduce the programme and provide an overview of previous evaluation activities and findings. This will be followed by an in-depth presentation of an evaluation study examining the impacts of the SBDC's advisory services in the state of California. The evaluation examined a variety of questions of relevance to the future design and implementation of the SBDCs' advisory services, including i). the impact of advisory services on the growth of SMEs, ii). the importance of the support intensity, and iii). firm-characteristics that influence programme impacts.
