About Us



The strength of Tennessee's economic growth is based in part on the small business community and its ability to get products to market. If you are a small business owner, entrepreneur or you are thinking about starting a new business, the Tennessee Small Business Development Center at ETSU (TSBDC) is here to help you every step of the way.

In 1984 the TSBDC partnered with East Tennessee State University to become an integral part of the College of Business and Technology's business outreach. The TSBDC provides a broad range of services to assist the start-up entrepreneur and existing business and industry in the center's service region of Carter, Grainger, Greene, Hamblen, Hancock, Hawkins, Johnson, Sullivan, Unicoi, and Washington counties.
