Nebraska Business Development Center — Local services in Omaha

Andy Robles, a Business Consultant for UNO’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC), has played an integral role in helping me open my LLC. He has consistently provided me with valuable resources, information, and thoughtful feedback to guide me throughout the process and has taken the time to explain details and answer my questions along the way.

Additionally, Andy has suggested several resources to help me explore business models and has provided me with general business plan details, information tailored to my business plan, and ideas for supplemental resources I could offer my target audiences. Andy has also helped keep me in the know by sending me monthly lists of free webinars geared toward entrepreneurs. I’ve attended several and have found them relevant and helpful.

Always quick to respond to my questions and schedule consultation meetings as needed, Andy is also patient and flexible about letting me complete work at my own pace, which I definitely appreciate. Andy’s in-depth feedback, big-picture thinking, and positive energy have continually motivated me to keep taking my next steps. Andy is knowledgeable, genuinely friendly, supportive, and so helpful, and I would highly recommend him as a Business Consultant....

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your help and guidance. If you are even thinking about opening a business, you would be truly foolish to not...

Working with the NBDC has been an incredible experience. I was connected with Andres to help redevelop my business plan as I was applying for a grant.

He was so knowledgeable and really took the time to dive into the details of my business and encouraged me to think through different elements that weren’t on my radar. I feel more confident now after going through this process. He was supportive of my business and I got the grant I applied for!...
