Hosted by Southeastern Community College, the Southeastern Small Business Development Center is located in downtown Burlington at River Park Place, formerly the Mercy Hospital Building. The Center offers free one-on-one business counseling, financial feasibility and business plan writing assistance, a fee based marketing research service, and a wide variety of business classes including QuickBooks.
The Southeastern Community College SBDC program started November 1987 as a branch office of Indian Hills Community College. In 1989 it became a full center separate from the Indian Hills SBDC. The Center serves Des Moines, Henry, Lee and Louisa counties.
