I understand and acknowledge that the Los Angeles Small Business Development Center (LA SBDC) Dream Fund training is for businesses located in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara or Ventura Counties only, and that if my business is in another county, I’ll need to find a different training partner, which may have a different curriculum. *
