Kim welcomes Beth Gantz, Certified Business Advisor with the Lorain CCC SBDC in Ohio to discuss America's best kept small business secret, Small Business Development Centers (SBDC).

Beth also discusses special programs and services that have been introduced in the past few months in an effort to help those affected by COVID.
