IMPACT OF SBDC COUNSELING ON THE SOUTH-WEST TEXAS BORDER REGION ECONOMY
Impact assistance returns tax revenues to state and federal governments, and value and capital to its clients that are greater than the direct cost of providing the services, making the existence of the SBDC program justifiable from a public policy perspective. For every $1.00 invested in the South-West Texas Border SBDC, a return of $6.24 is generated.
--Findings from an independent study by Dr. James Chrisman, Mississippi State University.
