Request for Consulting
The Lone Star College System SBDC counselors do not take the place of a lawyer, accountant or otherwise qualified professional. Counselors provide advice, guidance and coaching; however, all decisions are the client's to make.
Additionally, the Lone Star College System SBDC is not a lending agency, but may provide counsel in loan application preparation. However, this type of assistance does not suggest any intent to approve any loan request by any lender or loan guaranteeing institution, public or private. Counselors may provide advice on technique and sources for compiling the necessary information for a financial proposal; it is the client's responsibility to collect the needed information and prepare the necessary documentation.
The Lone Star College System SBDC acknowledges that clients from time to time divulge confidential and proprietary information during counseling. Unless otherwise expressly authorized by the client or required by law or federal regulation, the SBDC staff will not reveal to any person or entity the identity of any client to whom they have rendered services or any confidential or proprietary information obtained from the client and identified as such by the client.
