Welcome!
I’ve found that entrepreneurs on Oregon’s central coast share an unflagging optimism as they strive to build their businesses.
The coast attracts a special kind of entrepreneur. Stunning natural beauty and thriving tourism, fishing and natural resource industries help define a promising market. But this market also brings challenges, like stark seasonality.
Our team at the Oregon Coast Community College Small Business Development Center is here to help you, every step of the way. We’ve started, operated and sold businesses on the coast, so we understand the challenges and the opportunities the coast presents. At our center, prospective or current business owners can take advantage of free, confidential, one-on-one business advising and free and low-cost business courses.
Our dedicated staff works to help start, grow and retain profitable businesses throughout Lincoln County. Request a free business advising appointment today or call 541-994-4166 to learn more.
