Fostering Entrepreneurial Education Together

Welcome to Small Business Institute®
 
Small Business Institute® was formed in 1976 and is the premier organization dedicated to field-based student consulting and outreach to small businesses. Our members are actively involved with small businesses, entrepreneurial firms, and organizations in their communities and regions.

We are especially proud of the field-based student consulting projects that many of our members supervise each year. These individual programs are operated by colleges and universities across the country. These SBI programs bridge the gap between subject competency provided by courses in business and the entry-level training that companies critically need. Teams of qualified university students, under expert faculty supervision, provide consulting to small business owners and managers as part of their education. These programs emphasize practical, realistic, and affordable solutions to problems confronting small businesses.

Our organization offers our members a number of benefits, including, but not limited to the following: annual conference, awards, student project competition, two (2) journals, a newsletter, and much, much more.

Small Business Institute® STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
May 2013

Aaron Hall
East Carolina University



For the past four years, Aaron had the joy of being a student at East Carolina University (ECU). His time at the ECU, however, did not start smoothly. After learning that the major he wanted to pursue did not exist for undergraduates, he went through five different majors during his first semester. After his first semester he still was not sure about his future until he had the opportunity to work for a small business over Christmas break. For a couple of days, he was able to observe how exciting it is to own and operate a small business. After that experience, he quickly switched his major to Business Administration with the intent of concentrating in Small Business Management. Click here for more details
