Partnering With North Idaho Business Owners to Accelerate Your Business Success

What a great resource! Thank you for your help & education opportunities!

Happy to help use the Idaho SBDC for insight into each stage of my business growth. Enjoy their staff and courses and training for an ongoing educational point.

Great class! Free and very valuable

The Smarter Digital Marketing for Today’s Search-driven World was a wealth of information. Definitely recommend it for all business owners.

Great class from Deborah on Smarter Digital Marketing for Today’s Search-driven World

I’ve been working with Bob at SDBC Coaching for over a year now, and he has been a huge help in growing my business. Our meetings keep me focused, accountable, and moving forward with clear goals. I highly recommend Bob to anyone serious about taking their business to the next level!

10-star review - I’ve had an excellent experience working with the SBDC, and especially with my coach, Deborah Dickerson. I’m in the early stages of growing my consulting business, and Deborah has been exactly the coach I needed. She is refreshingly straightforward. In just two sessions, she helped me establish a solid business foundation (financially and operationally) and establish achievable marketing and sales goals. She has connected me with reputable, competent resources, including an attorney, website developer, contracting consultants, and shared valuable training opportunities. Deborah’s guidance is practical, efficient, and tailored to real-world business needs. I highly recommend the SBDC to any small business owner looking for clear, no-nonsense support.

Today's session was so informational, helpful and very timely!

SDBC coaching has been an invaluable resource for me and my business. I'm only a few months into the process and already Deborah's expertise, insight, patience, and accountability have made a dramatic difference in my approach and mindset, as well as my understanding of my business. Such a great reminder of the value of hiring professional help!

The staff at North Idaho SBDC are a wealth of information and support for small business owners of all types! It's hard to believe that their services are free!

Great information and trainers.

It looks like a great place to further your education

I am so lucky to get to work with Deborah as my business coach. She sees what I don't know to look for and is a huge support as I implement new practices. If you have been thinking about the free coaching with SBDC, JUST DO IT! Sept 2025: Thank you for all of your support and the structure and accountability you provided as I grow my business. I recommend SBDC coaches to any small business person I know, and for anyone in Sandpoint I tell them to ask for Deborah. Thank you thank you!

Working with the North Idaho Small Business Development Center has been a total game-changer for my business. Their coaching helped me get clear on my direction, make smarter decisions, and feel way more confident as an owner. I honestly don’t know where I’d be without their support—grateful doesn’t even begin to cover it!

Very informative

Starting your own business can be very stressful, but this program is extremely helpful and helps relieve that stress and worry. Thank you for doing this.

Great information. Thank you!!!

So much help, they are amazing. Help me with my new company release float spa. I’m so thankful for them

The SBDC is AMAZING, I have benefitted significantly from one-on-one free business coaching and adore Deborah. It's a night a day difference to be relying solely on independent research and experience compared to meeting with someone who has been in my shoes and can anticipate my business needs as well as help me set it up in a way to avoid headaches in the future. Highly recommend to self-motivated people on fire for their profession.

Thank you so much to the N. Idaho Business Development Center for offering me business support!

I took part in their free business acceleration class series and learned a lot about starting a business in Idaho, marketing strategies, and accounting. I'm also taking advantage of their free coaching services. I've gotten a lot of value from this organization. They are very professional and helpful. My businesses are better for their involvement.

Very informative!! Thanks again!

It was my first time attending SBDC zoom meetings. Deborah did amazing job helping us out on Digital Marketing. Participants also supported and shared their experience. I leant about many valuable tools that could benefit our digital marketing campaign. Thank you!!
