Expectations Agreement
The Hawai'i Small Business Development Center (Hawai'i SBDC) provides business advisory services at no cost to small business owners and those who wish to start a business. Our mission is to support the economic well-being of our communities and of the State of Hawai'i through assisting small businesses in achieving and maintaining sustainable growth.
In order for us to continually improve the quality of our service to the business community, we require your cooperation in providing information regarding the success of your company. We will ask for the information at the start of our relationship, and again at an interval coinciding with our funding year.
The first set of data that you provide is a starting point. You will receive a brief survey from the Hawaiʻi SBDC shortly after your first advising session. The second survey from the Hawaiʻi SBDC will be conducted after the close of the calendar year to provide a direct measure of your satisfaction level and our effectiveness at that time.
A National Survey is conducted by a third party (usually in the May to June timeframe) to independently ask for your view about Hawai'i SBDC services. This survey includes questions of sustainability (business growth and survival) as well as long-term effects of our services.
We may ask you to verify by way of signing a Client Impact Form that our efforts have helped you to achieve certain results, such as starting a business, receiving capital, adding or retaining jobs and increasing sales revenue.
All information gathered is kept strictly confidential within the Hawai'i SBDC and will not be released to any third party except in aggregated form.
Aggregated form means added together with other clients’ data without respect to the identity of any client. Our use of the data you provide is in statistical analyses internal to our organization and to our funding partners to prove the effectiveness of their support of our program.
Advising occurs in "sessions." Arising from those sessions, you, the client, can expect tasks to be agreed upon which are to be completed prior to the next session. Successful outcomes depend on both the advisor and client being prepared at the beginning of each session.
Advisor Affirmations
- I will provide thorough and focused attention to this client's enterprise, using all appropriate resources available to the Hawai'i SBDC.
- To the best of my ability, I will be prepared for each session.
- If I cannot keep an appointment for the session, I will let the client know at least 24 hours in advance.

Please read the following, enter your Full Name, and click Continue below to indicate your acceptance.
I request business counseling service from the Small Business Administration (SBA) or an SBA Resource Partner. I agree to cooperate should I be selected to participate in surveys designed to evaluate SBA services.
I understand that any information disclosed will be held in strict confidence. (SBA will not provide your personal information to commercial entities.) I authorize SBA to furnish relevant information to the assigned management counselor(s). I further understand that the counselor(s) agrees not to: 1) recommend goods or services from sources in which he/she has an interest, and 2) accept fees or commissions developing from this counseling relationship. In consideration of the counselor(s) furnishing management or technical assistance, I waive all claims against SBA personnel, and that of its Resource Partners and host organizations, arising from this assistance.
I self-certify that neither I nor my company are currently in suspension or debarment by a Federal Agency.
