“The SV SBDC is a welcome addition to the Augusta County Government Center.  Their ability to provide no fee consultation, business and strategic planning as well as, financial analysis to start or improve performance for area businesses remains an integral part of our plans.  We are excited to offer a “one stop shop” for those seeking business opportunities here in Augusta County”, stated Jeffrey A.
