Are you looking for a new way to market your products? Try the ND SBDC platform, ShopND at no cost to our clients. “This platform provides an opportunity for North Dakota patrons to support local businesses from the comfort of their own homes. Customers can choose local pickup, shipping, or even local delivery if offered by the business,” said Greg Syrup, CARES Program Director for the organization.
The first step is to be a registered client with North Dakota SBDC. If you are not a client yet, please register by choosing your closest location and click "Request Initial Appointment".
Once registered you can then go to the ShopND and get signed up as a vendor on that platform.
America’s SBDC (Small Business Development Center) and SBA (Small Business Administration) warn small business owners about sophisticated scams that attempt to steal their information.
Scammers are using logos from America’s SBDC and SBA to appear legitimate. Their goal is to trick you into revealing personal or business information (such as awarding you a grant)
As an SBDC, we can provide guidance on SBA programs but cannot award grants. Be cautious of unsolicited calls, emails, or letters. This would be a good time to take our Cybersecurity Assesment
By staying informed, you can help protect yourself and your business from falling victim to this scam. You can report any suspcious activity to the SBA's Inspector General.
