Crisp Small Business Resource Center

The Crisp Small Business Resource Center is the entrepreneurial resource hub of eastern North Carolina and serves a 29-county region.

We provide resources to launch and sustain small businesses and foster sustainable economic development.

For almost five years, small businesses and communities have relied on us for faculty-managed student consulting, industry research, entrepreneurial training, and resource identification and dissemination.
