Services

There is no charge to you for the counseling, referrals, or the use of the resource center.

Resource Center

"This is an excellent way to start our business so it can be successful."

The Small Business Center has books, videos, tapes, handouts, and periodicals - all available for you to use in researching small business topics. Computers are also provided for you to use in writing and researching business plans and proposals.

We invite you to make an appointment to visit us!

Resources are available at the main campus in Smithfield, the Workforce Development Center in Clayton, and at the Cleveland Center. Just call 919-209-2015 or e-mail the director to arrange a time to visit the location that is convenient to you. Directions are available if you need help finding us.

Counseling and Referrals

The Small Business Center can also assist you by offering confidential counseling sessions. No question is too simple or too complicated! As a member of the Small Business Center Network, we have many resources available for referrals in assisting you with specialized problems.

Call 919-209-2015 or e-mail the director to learn more.

Leadership

The Center is working in partnership with the chambers to deliver the Johnston County Leadership Program on an annual basis. The class meets monthly from September through May of each year and includes a retreat and leadership skills classes as well as informational sessions on the county. It is designed to identify opportunities for exerting leadership by the participants in their communities.

If you are interested in applying, contact the member services coordinator at the Greater Smithfield-Selma Area Chamber of Commerce at 919-934-9166.
