Robert has an incredible ability to get straight to the heart of the matter…read more When we first met, I was facing major challenges and I remember being asked this one (of many) powerful questions: "Does your life work?" My answer was no! With his guidance, I transitioned from a broken business built on sweat equity and no pay to a life and business focused on what truly matters--creating real results, wealth, and success. Attending his group workshops and one-on-one sessions was a game-changer. The workshops provided fresh perspectives and personalized feedback for all participants, while the one-on-one sessions gave me clear, actionable steps. If you're ready to do the work and create a life that works, Robert Chun at RSC Business Group is the coach for you.

I was skeptical before meeting with a company…read morewho purports to know how to grow my business (especially because I work in a less common field), but after just the first meeting, I started to benefit. From working together, they have 1) given me simple, powerful direction, allowing me to take small steps that would make big changes, 2) saved me time and resources by directing me away from mistakes I might have otherwise made, and 3) motivated me to take necessary steps I had been pushing off. I found great value working together.

I just thought I would update this. This center is a goldmine of information! It will give you all…read morethe tools and knowledge you need to start or increase a business successfully. The negative reviews I have seen seem to center around money. The SBDC is *not* a grant resource. BUT they have experts that can tell you what grants / loans are out there and how to apply for them. You / your business may not get the money - that's not on the SBDC, that's on you / your business plan and your financial situation. And I'll be honest, white males like me? Not a lot of grants and the SBA has very special financial rules about who gets their money that the experts at the SBDC will explain. But there are programs/grants out there to help lots of underrepresented folks in the entrepreneurial world. And the SBDC team know all about these, the requirements, and how to apply. They are great at describing the "terrain" involved in starting a business and helping you be prepared to maneuver in it (especially all the government requirements at Federal, State, County and City level! UGH!). I'm in the tech field and their web and social media experts leave me speechless in their knowledge - I have learned so much about an area where it is hard to keep up with all the changes and all the ins and outs. They will help your create a REAL business plan - that will give you a realistic view of what you need to survive and thrive, what you need to do: in sales, gross profit, net profit, and what those things are and how to calculate them. No plan survives the battlefield but your chance of surviving is greatly enhanced by planning and doing the work they ask of you. They do this only to help YOU succeed. They will help you create a REAL marketing plan - so you know who your target market is and define it so that it is not too big and not too small; who your "perfect customer" is to really understand how you can best serve them; and the best ways to reach your target market. They will help you understand the differences / pros & cons of different types of entities: sole-proprietorship, LLC, Sub-S, C-Corp (Inc) AND help you to make sure you fill out the paperwork correctly. They will help you set up your accounting system to give you the information you need to understand if your business is succeeding. And they will teach you exactly what that information is and what kind of values / "scores" you need to be a healthy and thriving company. They can help you decide / apply for Trademarks and Patents. They help you with importing and exporting. They can help you understand Angel and Venture Capital investment and what those groups are looking for in a business and how you can connect with them (at least Angel investors in the greater L.A. area). Really, if it is an aspect of business, they probably have an expert that can help. BUT you get what you put in. Commit yourself to learning what you need to learn and doing what you need to do, to start a business. Can they guarantee success? Of course not. But you will be lightyears better prepared to give your business a real chance of success by working with them. And remember ALL OF THIS IS FREE! Paid for by our tax dollars. Anyone would have to pay A LOT of money for the advise this center provides for free. I urge you to see for yourself, I think you will easily understand the benefit of this great organization with truly knowledgable people all wanting to help you / your business succeed.

I was genuinely excited to work with the LA SBDC, but unfortunately, my experience over the past…read moretwo months has been extremely disappointing. I submitted my application on June 22, 2026, and originally requested to work with Gary Polk. I was told he was too busy and was assigned to Thomas instead. After meeting with Thomas, I didn't feel his experience aligned with the level of guidance I needed, and I also didn't feel there was much confidence in my concept because of its scope. I requested Gary again and was denied. I was then assigned to Greg. While I appreciated his time, I again walked away feeling there was more skepticism about whether my concept was achievable than actual guidance on how to make it achievable. Greg suggested I meet with two other advisors and reconnect with him afterward, but those meetings were approximately two weeks away. That left me wondering: what was I supposed to be working on during those two weeks without direction or support? After eventually emailing Gary directly about my experience trying to work with him, I was finally assigned to him. We met on August 18, and he gave me homework, which I completed and submitted on August 21. Gary responded on August 23, and I replied on August 25. I then followed up again on August 27 and August 28 without receiving a response. On August 28, I texted Gary to follow up. He replied, "I thought that I replied via email. Did you not receive!" I sent him a screenshot showing my unanswered emails and follow-ups from that week. He read the message on August 28. As of September 1st, I still have not received a response. (Image attached). At this point, the lack of communication has left me feeling as though there simply isn't an interest in working with me as a client. What disappoints me most is the amount of time lost. I first contacted the SBDC on June 22. More than two months later, after being moved between multiple advisors and repeatedly advocating for the support I originally requested, I still don't feel I have meaningful direction or consistent support for my business. I came to the SBDC excited, motivated, and ready to do the work. I wasn't looking for someone to tell me my idea would be easy or automatically succeed. I was looking for experienced advisors who could challenge me while helping me determine how to turn an ambitious concept into an achievable business. I emailed their Regional Director about my experience and he did nothing to try and understand and better support my experience. -------------------------- Dear Rodrigo, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I am sorry to hear that your experience with our services did not meet your expectations. I appreciate you taking the time to outline your concerns, and I will review your feedback with our team as we look for opportunities to improve our client experience. I respect your decision to discontinue your engagement with the SBDC, and we will update your client status accordingly. At this time, we will consider your engagement with the Los Angeles Regional SBDC concluded. As you continue pursuing your business, I hope you will consider exploring other small business technical assistance providers in the region, such as SCORE, PACE, or the Business Source Centers, which may offer services that are a better fit for your needs. I wish you the best in your entrepreneurial journey and success with your business. Regards, -Pat Nye ---------------------- Unfortunately, that has not been my experience, and I am no longer interested in continuing as an LA SBDC client due to the lack of competence.
