University of La Verne SBDC

"I wanted to express my immense gratitude towards Sean for his outstanding assistance in ensuring that my documents were correctly submitted to the Small Business Administration for certification as a Woman Owned Business. His support throughout the process was exceptional, and he went above and beyond. I truly appreciate his patience, dedication, and professionalism in handling my case. I was so impressed with Sean's work that I would like to invite him as a guest speaker to my business class at Chaffey College. As an SBDC representative, he would be a valuable resource for students interested in learning more about the available resources for starting their businesses. I believe his insights and experience would benefit our students, and I am excited to have him as a speaker. Once again, I cannot thank Sean enough for his excellent work and support. He has made a significant difference in my business journey, and I am grateful for his help."

"I’m very appreciative of the help I received at SBDC located on the campus of the University of La Verne. Sean Snider is not only very knowledgeable but also was very friendly. No question went unanswered. I appreciate the follow-up email with a summary of our conversation and the resources I need to establish my small business. Thank you!"

"I started my business last year, but as it was scaling up I had no idea how to make it "official", pay taxes, and start hiring people. I didn't realize that resources like this existed, otherwise I would've reached out a long time ago! Mark Hicks and Thuong Bui were so incredibly helpful, and I couldn't believe how much they were able to help me—including getting my LLC, my business license, and putting together a business plan. And it was all for free! I'm so grateful for their support, and I wish more small business owners or budding entrepreneurs knew that entities like this can support you through what can otherwise feel like a scary and overwhelming process!"

"Writing a business plan is certainly overwhelming for most, but when I was introduced to Sean at University of Laverne, SDBC immediately after talking to him, I trusted him. We had a couple of virtual calls and showed me exactly how the business can profit walk me through step-by-step with the software. I recommend anybody looking to build a business plan to consult with Sean. It’s absolutely free, and he makes it very easy to get your business started feeling confident."
