Come Learn With Us

The Small Business Success Center (SBSC) serves as an entrepreneurial hub to help cultivate entrepreneurship, start new businesses, and support existing businesses. 

The SBSC is operated by the Bluefield WV Economic Development Authority (BEDA) with assistance from the CREATE Opportunity Partners. Since 2016, BEDA has hosted multiple classes and information sessions in which a CREATE Opportunity partner provides information and support on different topics. Our training programs/classes are tailored to provide support for the needs of our business owners and entrepreneurs as captured through our annual Small Business Survey.
