Santa Maria Business Development Center

About Us

The Santa Maria Business Development Center (SMBDC) exists solely for the purpose of encouraging, supporting, and expanding economic opportunities in the Santa Maria Valley through helping residents reach their personal economic growth potential via the entrepreneurship and self employment path. The Center's mission is to be known as the premier small business knowledge resource/development center on the Central Coast, to provide the residents of Santa Maria the highest quality support while they launch/expand their small businesses, and to ultimately be a resource for other service providers in the region.

The SMBDC is a launch pad for startups, newly established firms, and existing businesses ready to expand. The SMBDC offers a wide array of coworking/shared workspace options as well as fully furnished, full-service private offices. The SMBDC staff works continuously to develop a dynamic schedule of activities, workshops, seminars, and networking opportunities-not only for members but the community at large.

It is our hope that you, your colleagues, and your working partners will join us in making Santa Maria a better, business community.
