The Arkansas Small Business and Technology Development Center (ASBTDC), based at the UA Little Rock School of Business, is continuing a program specifically designed to help student entrepreneurs at UA Little Rock.

ASBTDC introduced the Build Your Own Business (BYOB) program for UA Little Rock students who want to become entrepreneurs, start a side business or startup company, or have research with commercial potential.
