Small Biz LA

In recognition of Small Business Month, we’re excited to launch our own Instagram page – @smallbizla 

To engage our followers, we will post about one small business throughout the month to highlight some our favorite small businesses around LA, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties.

LA SBDC staff is encouraged to submit a photo of a small business you like in your neighborhood. It does NOT need to be an SBDC client. In the posts, we will recognize them for being an outstanding small business, favorite neighborhood spot, etc. They will not be referred to as an SBDC client unless they have signed a release form. 

You can either send your photos to Kristen Brady via email or text, or you can post them on your center’s or personal instagram — just be sure to tag @smallbizla and use the hashtag #smallbusinessmonthLA .

Each year, the SBDC offices across the country are required to survey clients to help measure the impact of the work we do. This year, the survey will be administered by a third party contracted by the ASBDC. We have not been provided any details about the survey other than it will be sent 3 times over the spring to ALL 2017 clients. We’ll keep you posted as we learn more.

Here is the schedule: 

• The survey release date is scheduled for March 28th. 
• The second wave will go out on April 18th. 
• The third wave will go out May 9th. 

Any questions, contact Kristen at kbrady@lbcc.edu.
