​On Nov. 14, 2019, the Small Business Development Centers of Ohio celebrated its Ohio 2019 Recognition Award Program, where the Ohio Small Business Development Center at the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce took home three awards for the phenomenal work it does for small businesses throughout the Toledo Region.
Among the more than 30 Small Business Development Centers across Ohio, our local SBDC received the Ohio SBDC Performance Award for the Best Overall Performance by a Center. This award takes into account various statistics from the fiscal year, including jobs created, jobs retained and business starts, and is awarded to the highest-performing SBDC based on the size of the program.

“This is an acknowledgement that the Toledo Small Business Development Center outperformed all the centers throughout Ohio,” says Bill Wersell, vice president of business development services at the Toledo SBDC. “It verifies the hard work and dedication to our community of the staff of the Toledo SBDC.”

During this fiscal year, the Toledo SBDC worked with 364 clients; a near 14 percent increase from 2018. For more information about the Toledo SBDC’s fiscal year statistics, click here.

​​Wersell himself has been a driving force behind the Toledo SBDC, and his hard work earned him both the 2019 Mentor Award and the 2019 SBDC Center Director Performance Award. The recognition motivates him to continue delivering fantastic results to Toledo SBDC clients.

​“The northwestern Ohio SBDC team, while grateful for the acknowledgement, has always been focused on the financial success of the client,” Wersell says. “We look forward to continuing that service.”
The Development Services Agency of Ohio aims to promote a strong and supportive atmosphere for small business throughout the state. Between developing a marketing strategy, providing a variety of workshops and training programs, analyzing local businesses’ capital, engaging in one-on-one counseling services, and more, the Toledo SBDC works hard to create the environment small business owners need to succeed in northwest Ohio.

“I look forward to continued growth for our center and our clients. Every one of our clients is a unique person working hard to better themselves and our community,” Wersell says. “Helping to guide them to financial security through owning a small business is very satisfying work.”
