The Small Business Resource Network (SBRN) at FGCU
About SBRN
|
SBRN is divided into seven areas of
small business expertise:
- Accounting
- Legal
- Banking and Commercial Lending
- Insurance
- Corporate Members
- Non-Profit and Government Agencies
- Business Consulting
|
Members of SBRN include companies that serve small business and experienced private-sector professionals in law, accounting, insurance, financing and all aspects of management, as well as non-profit organizations that specialize in small business assistance.
Membership in SBRN is by peer review to ensure members meet qualifications established for each membership category, and most importantly, have demonstrated the desire to work with small business.
