Small Bus. Development Services (SBDC)

Ken Freeman is a Financial Services Professional.

The following is from his listing on LIKEDIN

My tenure as SBDC Director ended on Sept 30 2014. The decision was made to close the Yuba College Center serving 5 counties and combine with Sac Metro Chamber who will serve 9 counties. I wish them the best of luck and hope they will call to learn how to best serve our great clients in Yuba, Sutter, Colusa, Lake and Yolo Counties.

My current days are filled with personal business consulting, leading an effort titled "Focus on Marysville Business" to try to revive a dying city for businesses, consulting for both the Sac Metro SBDC and Veterans Business Outreach Center.

For assistance with a business plan, marketing, loan preparation or general operations, it is my duty and obligation to help you or refer you to someone who can.

Thank you to all our great clients, partners and friends over many, many years.


I work with all economic development agencies in a 5 county area served by Yuba College. This includes private, city, county and regional agencies. In addition,
we work closely with banks, county and city government and others to be able
to assist small businesses through the process of start up, contracting, compliance, hiring processes, etc.

I also do "contract" training through Yuba College for larger employer's and businesses. We can design and create special classes for any and all types of business educational needs.

My goal is to be the best resource for businesses to come to for assistance in all business areas, to be able to help them increase jobs, loan availability, and to increase their overall chance of success and their economic contribution to our local economies.

Specialties: 6 years corporate credit and finance experience for 6 Western State region for Ralston Purina Co with $500,000 in credit approval authority.
26 years of owning / running a retail / wholesale business with 14 employees,

A group of volunteers will assist business owners with start up issues, provide assistance to help your business grow and succeed via financial reviews, marketing assistance, training in Quick Books and promise to have an up to date list of quality, high integrity referrals for you.

All services will be confidential and most will be at no charge. The model is just being formed so we ask your patience, but do email if you have pressing needs.

We will support the SBDC and SCORE programs in all ways possible but will try to fill in the missing pieces and urgent needs of business.
