We&#8217;ll be excited to see how many people will come into the program and say, \u2018Hey, I want to start my business.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aside from small business training programs, SBDC has a business consulting and counseling program to provide one-to-one confidential business advice to clients. The center also serves as a one-stop resource center, linking all the tools to make sure people who want to do business can do business.<\/p>\n<p>SBDC also had a lot of success in augmenting the presence of small businesses in the CNMI. Ete Cafe in Garapan, for one, is an SBDC client through previous SBDC director Perry Inos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;ve been able to open Beans and Bags Coffee and Tea in Kagman, Marianas Creations in Garapan,\u2026[and] Forever CNMI in Oleai. [On] Rota, we have Jadie\u2019s Boutique, a woman\u2019s boutique. We service Saipan, Tinian, and Rota. Rufina Tropicals too, is SBDC,\u201d Babauta added.<\/p>\n<p>There are more, but SBDC, being bound by federal guidelines, can only share success stories of businesses that allow them to share. <\/p>\n<p>For more information about the workshop, contact SBDC at 664-3018 or visit their website at http:\/\/www.pacificsbdc.com\/.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To highlight the power of marketing in business, the CNMI Small Business Development Center is&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[50],"class_list":["post-313049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local-news","tag-power"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/32"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=313049"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313049\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=313049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=313049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=313049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
