The NSW Government recognises small business as an integral part of a successful economy. The Small Business Development Corporation of New South Wales (the SBDC) is part of the Government's strategy in assisting small business operators succeed and prosper.

Constituted under the Small Business Development Corporation Act 1984 (the Act), the SBDC has been established to provide advice to the NSW Minister for Small Business on the special needs of the small business sector.  It is part of the NSW Government's strategy to assist small business in the fields of innovation, export support and high-quality information services to increase the skills and knowledge base of business owners and managers.

The SBDC Board comprises 13 part-time members who are nominated for a three (3) year period and are chosen for their knowledge, experience and expertise relating to the small business sector of the community.  The Board also includes the Deputy Director General of State and Regional Development and Tourism, Industry and Investment NSW.
