Program: Eastern Iowa Community College's Business Development Center is a taxpayer funded center representing Clinton, Jackson, Muscatine and Scott Counties.  The focus of the center is consultation in business valuation for purposes of buying or selling.  They are also a  resource for someone starting a business or growing one. The Center according to Joel Youngs can help not for profits through entities such as SCORE.

 

A small business has fewer than 500 employees and has revenue less than $20 million.  Joel is the staff currently at the center working to grow small business.
