Big dreams need the right support. At the University of Georgia Small Business Development Center, we give business owners the tools, training and resources to build lasting success.
Our clients see stronger sales, more job growth and a higher three-year success rate compared to the average Georgia business. With 17 offices statewide, expert help is always close to home.
From a home-based startup to a brand featured in approximately 1,000 stores nationwide, DK Designs has turned big dreams into measurable growth. With guidance from the UGA Small Business Development Center, owners Drew and Kim Winters gained the tools, connections, and strategic support needed to scale their business, expand into wholesale markets, and plan for the future.
Watch how this Forsyth-based company transformed opportunity into success while creating jobs and growing its impact across Georgia.
“The fact that I've got someone I can go to, and it's okay to say, ‘I don't know,’ and that someone will respect the big dreams that I have. That has been a game changer for us.”
