We would like to bring to your attention a scam that is currently circulating, utilizing the logos of America's SBDC and SBA in an attempt to extract information from small businesses. This scam exhibits a significant level of sophistication, with the primary aim being to deceive individuals into divulging personal or business information, under the false pretext of awarding grants. It is important to emphasize that SBDCs do not have the authority to issue SBA grants, and small businesses should exclusively expect communication from the Small Business Administration.
With 14 locations, the University of Houston Texas Gulf Coast SBDC Network is responsible for providing small business assistance to 32 counties throughout Southeast Texas.
If you're in need of small business assistance, the SBDC advising staff can assist you in various stages of the business life cycle: pre-venture or early stage, startup, expansion, growth and exit.
