Student Teams

Student Teams

Working with Student Teams is a mutually advantageous situation for all parties involved. An FSBDC at USF business client provides the team with financial and other organization details, the Florida SBDC at USF provides value-added service to the client, and the client gets a no-cost plan as a result. Each project is assigned a Florida SBDC at USF regional consultant to oversee the project.  Our main interest is to ensure that the client will receive an adequate plan at the end of the semester.

This program lasts one semester, up to 14 weeks.  During the semester, the student team will prepare an individualized product, based on the business’ needs and selected team.  A written report will be created providing the organization with a professional, fully developed plan for use in guiding and developing the business. Products available include the following:
