2025 was an incredible year for the entrepreneurs of North Alabama. Together, we advised 582 clients, supported 43 new business starts, delivered 43 training events, helped secure $13.4M in capital, and celebrated $1.05B in government contract awards through our APEX Accelerator.

Thank you for trusting the UAH SBDC and APEX teams with your ideas, your questions, and your dreams.
Here’s to even more growth in 2026. 💙

The Federal Reserve’s 2025 Small Business Credit Survey is now open, and the Alabama SBDC Network is a partner in this effort. Owners and key financial decision-makers of for-profit businesses, share your recent experiences about whether and how you use debt, what financial conditions you face, and more. Answers to these questions contribute to data that directly inform the Fed, federal government agencies, service providers, policymakers, and others—a public good ultimately benefiting your business and others like yours. Take the 12-minute survey. The survey is open to businesses currently in operation, those recently closed, and those about to launch. All responses are confidential. The survey closes November 14, 2025. https://lnkd.in/euZW7m6U
