Summary

SBAT pointed entrepreneurs to partner programs (SBDC, SBA, incubators), library drop-in hours, and classes at County American Job Centers (Eastpointe, Hunt Valley, Liberty), plus monthly drop-ins at the Towson Startup and direct SBAT contact emails.

Renard Brown outlined how SBAT connects founders to partners and county sites for practical support, naming Small Business Development Centers, the U.S. Small Business Administration, incubators and the Baltimore County Public Library as common referral points.

Brown listed locations where entrepreneurs can receive counseling and attend classes: County American Job Centers at Eastpointe, Hunt Valley and Liberty; library drop-in hours at various branches; and monthly drop-in hours at the Towson Startup. For direct inquiries he offered [email protected] and [email protected].

Brown positioned SBAT as a connector rather than a primary funder: "We partner with different folks," he said, naming partners and emphasizing case-by-case referrals to the services that best match a founder's needs. He encouraged entrepreneurs to use county and partner resources to assemble low- or no-cost supports during early stages.

The moderator then invited audience questions; Brown reiterated that creating a business plan and identifying revenue streams are core first steps before seeking financing or scaling.
