"The Lord Fairfax Small Business Development Center is an amazing resource for our community! Being a first time small business owner can be an overwhelming experience. There are so many moving parts and things to think about. Christine Kriz at the SBDC has been a wealth of knowledge. She has provided me with valuable tools and feedback as well as put me in touch with so many important local contacts. Jeff Nicely is also wonderful to work with. In just a short time, he allayed my fears about social media and taught me so much about using Facebook for my small business. I am so excited to have found the Lord Fairfax Small Business Development Center, and I can't wait to see where my business goes next. Thank you, SBDC!"

"The LFSBDC has been the best partner in my process of starting a small business to getting it off the ground. Each and everyone of their staff is highly knowledgeable and helpful in finding out ways that operations can be improved or ways my business can be adapted for growth. Particularly during the pandemic, they have been amazing at reaching out small businesses that have been affected due to the pandemic and sharing the word on available grants. Many of the programs they provide are very helpful in different topics related to a small business, and bet of all, at no cost at all. Highly recommend it to anyone thinking of or already owning a business."
