The Director of the Small Business Development Center (SBDC) Kelly Bearden from CSUB joins TehachaPod to talk about opportunities for the small business owners in Tehachapi. They offer free assistance in navigating through programs to help your business succeed. We talk about funding opportunities, training and new government programs available to you. Your business may only be in the idea phase and they can help you develop a plan to make it come into existence. The SBDC is part of a national organization, and is available to the entire Kern County area but we focus on the Tehachapi success stories in the conversation. www.CSUBSBDC.com
