SBDC Mission Statement

The mission of Sul Ross State University-Rio Grande College Small Business Development Center is to promote jobs through small business start-ups, business expansions, business innovations, increased business productivity and improved management for small businesses in the nine-county Middle Rio Grande Area.

These goals will be accomplished through activities of counseling, technical assistance, training seminars, workshops, advocacy, research studies, resource information and coordination with the U.S. Small Business Administration and other community business support services.

It is the philosophy of the RGC-SBDC to guide and train people rather that to do the necessary work for them. This should provide independence to the individual or business, especially those in special focus groups such as minority-owned businesses, women-owned businesses, rural businesses and veteran-owned businesses.

Non-Discrimination Statement

All SBDC programs are non-discriminatory and open to the public. Special arrangements for the handicapped will be made if requested in advance. Contact Luis Urbina, SBDC Director, at SRSU-Rio Grande College, Route 3, Box 1200, Eagle Pass, (830) 758-5025.
