Impact of the Florida SBDC Network on the Florida Economy

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2013 Analysis

E. 4

The United States Congress established the Small Business Develop-

ment Center (SBDC) program in 1980 as part of Chapter 21 of the

Small Business Act following the proven success of a three state pilot

effort, launched in 1976, in which Florida participated. The SBDC pro-

gram intent is to help strengthen existing and prospective small busi-

nesses by linking them with the knowledge and resources of the federal,

state and local governments and the academic community through ser-

vices delivered by a state-wide network of SBDCs. Congress envisioned

that, as a result of this assistance, more small businesses would start,

grow and prosper, have access to capital and other resources, improve

their market competitiveness, and contribute to the improvement of

state and local economies through new job creation. The accompanying

report is designed to provide an assessment measuring the economic

impact of the Florida SBDC Network’s consulting services.

The Florida SBDC Network serves all 67 counties, operating through 11

regional centers and 29 satellite centers. SBDCs provide consulting,

training, research and informational services to Florida’s emerging and

growing small and medium sized businesses. The data in this report are

focused specifically on the impacts associated with consulting service

activities offered by the three primary programs comprising the Florida

SBDC Network; Small Business Development Center (SBDC) core pro-

gram, Procurement and Technical Assistance Center (PTAC) program,

and Growth Acceleration Program (GAP). Previous reports have fo-

cused on only SBDC core program activities.

This report follows the methodology consistent with the “Small Busi-

ness Development Center Program in Florida: An Extended Analysis of

its Consulting to All Clients in 2010 – 2011” report written by Dr. James

Chrisman, Mississippi State University; an independent study of state

SBDCs commissioned by the Association of Small Business Develop-

ment Centers. The Florida SBDC Network requested that the Haas re-

search team prepare a comparative report using IMPLAN® modeling to

calculate economic impacts generated as a result of network services.

The two reports diverge with respect to the analysis tools utilized but

are inclusive of the same data sets collected by the same survey. We

have not independently verified the assumptions that lead to the out-

comes realized in Dr. Chrisman’s analysis and simply utilize the inputs

presented to us by the Florida SBDC to develop the IMPLAN® esti-

mates that we present here.

The data presented concludes that the Florida SBDC Network has a

significant impact on Florida’s economy. In Table E.1 we present data

on the overall impact of the Florida SBDC Network in terms of em-

ployment, sales and value added (analogous to Gross Domestic Prod-

uct). As the data in the table indicates, the impacts of Florida SBDC

Network consulting activities are substantial. These activities generated,

saved or retained a total of 47,845 jobs across the state of Florida for

customers served in 2011 - 2012. This resulted in an overall increase in

sales output of nearly $6.3 billion and increased the overall size of the

Florida economy by $3.9 billion.

The Florida SBDC Network does not, however, function at “no cost.”

It is therefore critical to understand the overall costs of the

network and the return on the investment for Florida. As

the data in the report shows, the Florida SBDC Network

costs approximately $11.5 million annually; $6.1 million in

federal funding and $5.36 million from local and regional

partner required match. It is important to note there is no

direct appropriation made by the state of Florida for the

SBDC program for the period covered by this report. All

$5.36 million in annual match is a result of investment pro-

vided by the Network’s local and regional public and private

partners. As the data in Table E.2 reflect, the consulting

activities of the Florida SBDC Network generated a return

of $214.6 million for the State’s treasury, or for every $1 of

Florida public and private sector investment in the pro-

gram, the Florida SBDC Network returns over $40 to

the State in some form of tax revenue. Moreover, when looking at

raw investment in the absence of a return figure, we see the same invest-

ment yields over 47,845 jobs annually, or an average annual cost of

$112 per job created, saved or retained as a direct result of Florida

SBDC Network activities. This demonstrates a return on investment

that far exceeds other comparable programs.

Naturally, these data are associated with a broad-brush perspective on

the impact of Florida SBDC Network consulting activities on the Flori-

da economy and the cost/benefits to Florida. The results are based on

several key assumptions necessary to the execution of the analysis. We

outline those assumptions in the accompanying report and appendices

and comment on the overall strengths and weaknesses of the approach

in the broader document.

In the accompanying report, we assess the economic impact of consult-

ing services that the Florida Small Business Development Center

(FSBDC) Network offered to emerging and growing Florida businesses

between 2011 and 2012. Data were collected from a survey provided by

the FSBDC, which assessed established firms—including microbusiness,

start-up and small and medium sized enterprise (SME) market seg-

ments—and emerging pre-venture firms on several dimensions. A copy

of the survey is included in Appendix A.

The economic inputs utilized in this report were based upon a report

written by Dr. James Chrisman, Mississippi State University. Dr. Chris-

man was commissioned by the Association of Small Business Develop-

ment Centers (ASBDC) to assess the impact and return-on-investment

of state SBDC programs. This analysis accepts his findings regarding the

direct impacts and utilizes additional economic analysis tools to estimate

the direct, indirect and induced impacts. The methodology of this report

is consistent with the report written by Dr. Chrisman in that the impacts

of the SBDC program also include businesses that received assistance

from the Network’s three primary programs; Small Business Develop-

ment Center (SBDC) program, Procurement Technical Assistance Cen-

ter (PTAC) program and the Growth Acceleration Program (GAP).

Specifically, we analyze the sales and employment impacts that these

programs had on businesses that responded to the SBDC survey, indi-

cating that at least one program benefited their businesses. The survey

was administered to all customers served by the network during this pe-

riod, which included 21,930 emerging and growing businesses. Of these,

3,995 businesses responded—an 18.2% response rate, nearly 2% higher

than last year.

The survey asked customers to rate the performance of the SBDC on

numerous dimensions; however, they only reported three critical pieces

of data that are relevant to this analysis. First, they reported two years

(2011 and 2012) of employment data. Second, they reported how many

jobs were saved and/or retained by their business as a result of SBDC

consulting activities. And finally, they reported the total value of capital

or government contracts that they successfully raised or acquired as a

result of SBDC assistance. (The SBDC does not provide loans or con-

tracts to businesses directly; however, its consultants do assist business-

es in the preparation, application and acquisition process.) Although ac-

cess to capital and contract dollars have important impacts, we exclude

these from our overall estimates. In the absence of hard data on the di-

rect connection between the capital and/or contract and jobs, we omit

the impact from our calculations and present the more conservative esti-

mates. This eliminates the potential of double counting the creation or

retention of job growth that may have resulted from the capital or con-

tracts acquired.

This leaves us with the ability to estimate two data points—job growth

between 2011 and 2012 and the total number of jobs saved/retained.

We benchmark the growth of these SBDC business customers against

their parent sectors in the Florida economy and attribute only the differ-

ential growth rates to SBDC activities. For example, if employment at

an architectural firm consulted by the SBDC grew at an annual rate of

10% between 2011 and 2012, while employment in architectural firms

across the state grew at only 5%, we attribute that differential 5%

growth rate to SBDC activities. On the other hand, if an SBDC consult-

ed firm grew at the rate of 5% while the statewide growth rate was 10%,

we attribute a negative 5% growth impact to SBDC activities. We also

utilize the self-reported jobs saved/retained numbers to calculate the

SBDC impact in terms of total jobs saved/retained across the Florida

economy.

We assume that the survey respondents who participated differ in no

substantively meaningful ways (a strong assumption) from those who

did not participate and leverage the data to estimate the total direct im-

pact of SBDC activities across the population of consulted businesses.

We present state-wide data in Table 1 by high-level industry sector. We

note that many of the businesses did not report a NAICS (North Amer-

ican Industrial Classification System) code, which made it difficult to

classify them. However, utilizing web searches, business names, and

brief descriptive paragraphs for the unclassified businesses in the sur-

vey—we classified all businesses into the high-level industry categories

displayed below.

In Table 1, we present totals for jobs created by established firms and

jobs created for pre-venture firms. For the purposes of presenting our

findings, we have combined jobs created with jobs saved and this data

contained in the jobs created column. This column represents the differ-

ential impact of SBDC activities on job growth above and beyond the

state baseline. In Dr. Chrisman’s report, the employment growth rate

for the state of Florida was set at 1.1%. We report growth rates more

precisely at the industry level, hence the varying percentages shown in

Table 1. This accounts for slight differences between our results and

those included in Dr. Chrisman’s report.

Taking a look at the manufacturing industry, for example, job growth

among established firms that received consulting was 9.2%, while the

corresponding growth rate across the state was 1.7%. Utilizing the sur-

vey response rate and reported job growth among respondents, we cal-

culated that SBDC established firms added 553 manufacturing jobs to

the state economy above the average job rate of 1.7% for Florida’s man-

ufacturing sector. Moreover, established manufacturing firms reported

that they saved or retained approximately 848 jobs as a result of SBDC

activities. Summing the “jobs created” with the “jobs saved or retained”

figures yields a total “credit” of 1,401 manufacturing jobs as a direct re-

sult of Florida SBDC Network activities.

With respect to construction, the narrative is much the same as in previ-

ous years under study. The SBDC established firms actually lost jobs at

a considerably higher rate than the state average. This is not surprising

given the sluggish state of the economy making it difficult for smaller

firms to withstand economic pressures and leading to the significantly

higher rate of job losses. Even so, the construction sector reported that

the SBDC aided them in saving or retaining 5,421 jobs, yielding a posi-

tive overall SBDC impact on construction sector activities.

As the table totals reflect, SBDC activities resulted in the creation of

8,182 new jobs above and beyond the state’s overall growth rate. More-

over, SBDC activities resulted in 18,959 jobs saved or retained for Flori-

da over the survey period as well. Thus, the SBDC contributed 27,141

jobs to Florida’s employment totals over the survey period. Though im-

pressive, these employment totals count only the direct job impacts of

SBDC consulting activities. For a more comprehensive understanding

of the total impacts generated as a result of SBDC activities we utilize

IMPLAN® economic impact modeling.

State-Wide Impact. To calculate the total economic impact of SBDC

activities on the Florida economy, we utilized the IMPLAN® software

tool, which provides economic impact assessments in terms of direct,

indirect and induced economic impacts across a variety of categories,

including employment, labor income, value added (Gross Domestic/

Regional Product) and total economic output (sales). In order to arrive

at these impacts, the inputs from Dr. Chrisman’s report were used as

benchmarks to parse the data into higher-level NAICS codes. Other

economic impact modelers, such as the PI+ Model from Regional Eco-

nomic Models, Incorporated (REMI), only require inputs at the two-

digit level. IMPLAN® requires inputs at the three or four-digit level,

allowing for a more detailed analysis. For example, the industry sector,

Manufacturing, is associated with a two-digit code. To analyze this sec-

tor in IMPLAN®, we had to proportion the sector into subsectors, such

as Aircraft Manufacturing and Food Manufacturing. It was important to

do so because Aircraft Manufacturing, for example, is considered a high

wage, high skill job, whereas the Food Manufacturing subsector is not.

As a result, they differ in terms of labor income. Thus, incorrectly

weighting the subsectors could produce very different results. After col-

lecting state-wide data at the four-digit level, we calculated the propor-

tions of the total number of jobs for each subsector within the Manu-

facturing sector and then applied these proportions to the survey data

provided. These numbers were then used in the IMPLAN® analyses. By

doing so, it is possible to compare the two approaches (See Appendix C

for a more detailed accounting of our methodology).

The state-level economic impact report is presented in Table 2 (on the

preceding page) and is broken down by the FSBDC’s four target seg-

ments: microbusiness, individual start-ups, small and medium sized en-

terprises (SME) and pre-venture. The sum of direct effects (input) is

equal to the total number of jobs reported in Table 1. However, as one

might imagine, the creation of those direct jobs spurs other types of in-

direct and induced job creation activities. For example, growth in em-

ployment at a restaurant typically means that the establishment is selling

more food. This, across time, leads to indirect and induced employment

growth in the trucking industry (for example) as more goods are trans-

ported to the establishment. These types of impacts are reported as indi-

rect and induced effects in Table 2. As the data reflects, the 27,141 di-

rect jobs created or retained by FSBDC activities lead

to 8,484 indirect and 12,220 induced jobs for a total of

47,845 jobs credited to FSBDC activities.

Together, these employment numbers generate over

$2.3 billion in labor income and $6.29 billion in total

sales (output). These activities increase the “size” of

the Florida economy by nearly $3.9 billion dollars in

terms of value added/Gross Regional Product. (Gross

Regional Product represents the total value of all goods

and services produced in a region/state/nation and is

labeled, at the national level, Gross Domestic Product

or GDP).

Regional Impacts. The FSBDC network is divided

into 11 regional areas, as shown in the map to the right

(for a county list, see Appendix B). The state-wide of-

fice is located in Region 1, as denoted by the star on

the map. Not all regions across Florida are equal in

size, business demographics or financial resources. Some regional areas

are comprised of multiple counties while others include only one. We

present direct, indirect, induced and total effects for jobs created within

the microbusiness, individual start-up, SME and pre-venture segments

across the 11 regions in Tables 3, 4, 5 and 6 on the following pages. The

procedure for calculating these impacts at the regional level was identical

to the state procedure previously discussed.

As the data in the tables indicate, there are substantial degrees of varia-tion in impact across the various regions. In Table 3, for example, the microbusiness segment in Region 8 (Palm Beach County only) saw 745

(directly, indirectly and induced) as a result of FSBDC activities. The

data in Table 7, shown on the following page, represent the top 10 oc-

cupations affected by FSBDC activities. We note that the general titles

are indicative of the types of jobs that will be created. What these data

indicate is that the FSBDC Network is involved in creating high-wage,

high-skill jobs among budding entrepreneurs and established small busi-

nesses looking to grow. Indeed, three out of the five largest categories

of job-types created are high-wage, high-skill occupations.

Summary. Florida SBDC Network consulting activities resulted in

the creation of 8,182 jobs for established firms between 2011 and

2012 over and above average growth rates for the represented in-

dustries. Moreover, businesses working with the FSBDC were able

to save or retained an additional 18,959 jobs for a total of 27,141

jobs. These growth/retention activities, in turn, resulted in adding,

retaining or saving an additional 20,709 jobs for a total jobs impact

of 47,845 as a result of the Florida SBDC Network. These activi-

ties added $3.8 billion dollars to the overall size of Florida’s econo-

my. It is important to note that the economic impacts associated with

FSBDC activity have increased relative to our 2012 study.

The Haas Center conducted a similar study in 2012 using an identical

methodology for determining the economic impacts of FSBDC activity.

this report. As the table illustrates, total jobs increased by 9% while total

sales/output and value added grew by 5.4% and 15% respectively.

Although the network produces a substantial number of jobs and adds

to the economy, we must examine FSBDC fiscal impacts in order to

determine the return on invest-

ment (ROI) for Florida. The

FSBDC Network receives its

funding from two sources; federal

appropriations and local and re-

gional match investment provided

by host partner institutions of

higher education and public and

private sector organizations.

(Match funding is necessary to lev-

erage federal FSBDC program funding—otherwise the federal dollars

would not come to the state of Florida, at least in the form of small

business development activities.) The FSBDC program does not receive

any direct appropriation funding from the state of Florida for program

activities. The annual cost of the FSBDC operation for the period under

study was $11.4 million. Of this, the FSBDC leveraged $5.36 million in

host partner investment to access $6.1 million in federal

funding for its activities. Thus, it is assumed that the total

cost of operating the network to Florida was $5.36 million

(we did not include the small share of federal dollars that

were paid by Floridians).

Utilizing IMPLAN® fiscal impact module, we calculated

the tax impacts displayed in Table 8 by summing the tax

impacts for each of the 11 regions. These impacts are bro-

ken out into four different types—collections associated

with employee compensation, indirect business tax, house-

hold taxes and corporate taxes. Across the various catego-

ries, the data indicate that the SBDC was responsible for

generating approximately $214.6 million in tax revenue for

the State of Florida as a result of its consulting activities for

the $5.36 million invested (as indicated in Table 10). This yields a bene-

fit to cost ratio of $40.04 indicating that the FSBDC returns just over

$40.04 in tax revenue to the State for every dollar invested. Moreover,

the average cost for each job created or saved/retained is approximately

$112.03, which is, compared to the broader economic development are-

na, highly favorable.

There are, of course, many ways to benchmark job creation mechanisms

against investment, against each other and against other opportunities

that would generate a greater return for each dollar invested. That is be-

yond the scope of this study. However, the overarching conclusion that

the SBDC yields a positive return on the investment of taxpayer dollars

is supported by the data that are presented in this section.

The analysis of the Florida SBDC Network included in this document

benchmarks the network utilizing methodologies that produce results

that are comparable to others in the industry. The data indicate that

Florida’s $5.36 million investment leverages roughly that same amount

in federal funding (approximately $6.1 million) for the network. Moreo-

ver, for a total state investment of $5.36 million, the Florida SBDC Net-

work helped to create or retain more than 47,845 Florida jobs (direct,

indirect and induced) while generating nearly $6.3 billion in economic

activity and contributing $3.8 billion to Florida’s economy.

The return for Florida investment is substantial as well. For every $1 of

Florida investment in the program the Florida SBDC Network returns

over $40 to the state in revenue, and for each job created or retained it

“costs” Florida $112 in investment. Naturally the results are dependent,

in some degree, on the assumptions utilized in the modeling strategy

developed by Chrisman. We discussed some of those assumptions in the

methodological overview. We continue that discussion in Appendix C

where we outline (and detail) our inputs and associated assumptions.

APPENDIX C

The opening section of the document contained an overview of the meth-

odological approach that we established for estimating the economic im-

pact of FSBDC Network services on the Florida economy. The ap-

proach, however, was fundamentally dependent on the model inputs and

the types of input categories chosen. As we noted, it was sometimes diffi-

cult to determine what types of businesses/employment were generated

by the models that we utilized. We therefore relied on the local structure

of the economy to estimate the most likely categories in which the growth

would be occurring for a given sector and inputted the jobs figures there.

We were also careful to choose IMPLAN categories that had wage/sales

structures that were comparable to our expectations about the types of

jobs being generated. This often forced us to utilize categories that were

not exactly correct on the descriptive side of the equation but were cor-

rect on expected values of sales. This, in turn, means that our economic

impact figures are much more accurate than the overall descriptive titles

of the types of jobs generated. We therefore prioritized correct dollar

estimates over job description.

We divided the inputs into two categories for established firms: jobs cre-

ated and jobs saved. Pre-venture firms encompassed only the jobs created

category (by definition pre-venture firms do not have an impact on jobs

saved because they are new businesses). Again, although some of the cat-

egories may not appear intuitive in relation to FSBDC activities, the

wage estimates match best with reported FSBDC survey data for the cate-

gories included.

The FSBDC classifies all surveyed firms as falling into five industries: re-

tail, service, wholesale, manufacturing and construction. In order to find

the distribution of SBDC assisted job creation at the sector level, the Cen-

ter utilized industry job reports for 2012 provided by Economic Modeling

Specialists, Inc. (EMSI) to determine total sector-specific job creation.

These reports utilize North American Industry Classification System

(NAICS) codes which provide detailed employment figures for each sec-

tor within the five industries used by the FSBDC. Each code represents a

subset of the FSBDC industry classification. Please note, these figures

represent total job creation and not just those associated with FSBDC

assisted firms.

Haas Center researchers then grouped these employment figures into re-

gions corresponding with the 11 regions found throughout the FSBDC

Network; by doing so, we were able to determine total job creation at the

sector level for each region. We then calculated the employment distribu-

tion across the top three NAICS sectors in relation to the larger FSBDC

APPENDIX C

industry classification for each region.

In order to determine total FSBDC assisted job creation across the en-

tire population of FSBDC assisted firms for each region, we multiplied

FSBDC assisted job creation totals from the surveyed established firms

by four and job creation totals from pre-ventured firms by seven.

These multipliers were based on the percentage of firms surveyed in

relation to the entire population of FSBDC assisted firms—both estab-

lished and pre-ventured. We were then able to apply each region’s sec-

torial employment distribution to the total regional FSBDC assisted

job creation figures thus providing us with precise FSBDC assisted job

creation figures at the sector level.

These figures were used as inputs for modeling the direct, indirect and

induced impacts (jobs, total output/sales and value added/GRP) at the

regional level. Our determinations for the economic impacts at the

state level were derived by summing each region’s employment, total

output/sales and value added/GRP effects. Table C on the following

pages presents this information for each region.
