​

The roundtable is designed to help the Small Business Administration in identifying challenges that small businesses face with federal regulations and statutes. Attendees will have an opportunity to provide feedback that will assist the SBA’s Office of Advocacy in voicing the region’s small business concerns to the White House, federal agencies, and congress.

 

The guest speaker will be Bruce Levell, SBA Regional IV Advocate. Levell, who was appointed to his position by President Donald Trump, brings more than 25 years of experience as a successful small business founder to his job as regional advocate. He has operated and developed a retail and real estate company, both of which have received SBA loans.

 

USM created its Small Business Development Center through a partnership with the Small Business Administration, the Mississippi Small Business Development Center Network, the University of Mississippi, the Trent Lott National Center, and the College of Business at USM. The MSBDC includes nine basic service centers throughout the state.

 

The USM Small Business Development Center offers, at no cost to clients, the following services:

  • In-depth counseling assistance to ensure more successful startups of new enterprises and to strengthen existing firms.

  • Business plans and loan packaging assistance.

  • Small business workshops/seminars.
