UGA SBDC at Kennesaw State University

"The SBDC HAS BEEN THE LIFELINE OF MY SMALL BUSINESS. My advisor, Joe Zirkel, has been phenomenal. His knowledge, accessibility, and resources was just what I needed to start and maintain my small business."

"I truly enjoyed working with Joe—his expertise and guidance were invaluable. The resources he provided helped me gain clarity and structure, especially in developing a proper business plan. His support gave me the confidence to pivot and move forward with a strong foundation. I’m incredibly grateful for the SBDC and all it offers to small business owners like myself."

"Our experience with the UGA SBDC was outstanding. Daniel was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us succeed. He consistently went above and beyond to answer our questions and provide guidance throughout the SBA loan process. I wouldn't change a thing—please continue providing the same high level of service and support to Georgia's small business community."

"Antonio was my consultant and thus far has been the best resource I can get my hands on. He is knowledgable, and has worked with other companies before so he also provides real world experience. I will continue to recommend this service to anyone and everyone that I know."

"Drew is fantastic. I’ve worked with him for 20 years now. Since then, I’ve started and sold three businesses, and I could not have done it without him. I’m forever grateful."
