Services

Mason SBDC provides counseling services to entrepreneurs in Fairfax, Arlington, and Prince William Counties at no cost thanks to the generosity of our sponsors.

The first step to obtaining counseling services from Mason SBDC is to submit your Executive Summary or Business Plan at an initial group business counseling session called Business Counseling 101.

 

At the initial group business counseling session, join fellow entrepreneurs in a 60 minute session to learn how to utilize Mason SBDC's counseling services and other local services. During the session, a peer review of your executive summary and/or "elevator pitch" will be completed. Networking with other local entrepreneurs will be encouraged.

 

To register for Business Counseling 101, please complete the Request for Counseling Form. Once we receive your online request, we will follow-up with you via phone or email to schedule your attendance. Counseling is by appointment only between Monday through Friday from 9AM-5PM.
