Small Business Development Corporation of Orange County is honored to receive an Award of Merit from the California Association for Local Economic Development (CalEd) and particularly so because this award honors our close collaboration with others to boost the state’s economy. 

It is through our partnerships with the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (IBank) as well as with numerous community-based lenders and non-profit organizations that SBDC-OC helps small business owners acquire the capital needed to grow their ventures. These partnerships produced record results last fiscal year in terms of loan guarantees, job retention and creation. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve and support our business community!

The 40th Annual CALED conference celebrates how California’s Economic Developers are “Getting it done.” every day in their communities through relationship building, strategic planning, and connecting to key resources.
