Virginia Murphy turned a small Atlanta startup into a $4 million steel fabrication business, but she says the real game-changer was asking for help. The UGA Small Business Development Center (SBDC) stepped in when COVID nearly shut her down, helping her secure crucial funding and guiding her through every stage of growth. Murphy credits the SBDC’s advice for everything from winning government contracts to expanding her team. Her story is a reminder: you don’t have to do it all alone, and tapping into local resources can make all the difference.
