From electrician to entrepreneur: UGA SBDC helps Neely Electrical Services power up for growth

When an unexpected opportunity to buy a business landed in Trey Neely’s lap, he had the technical skills—but not the know-how to navigate a complex acquisition. With guidance from the UGA SBDC, Neely turned that challenge into a success story, growing his company by 43% and doubling its workforce in just two years.

The UGA SBDC is funded through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.

All SBDC services are provided in a nondiscriminatory way to all legal residents and citizens in the United States. Reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities will be made if requested at least two weeks in advance.

The UGA SBDC is an accredited member of America’s SBDC.
