Small Business and Incubation Support
 
 
 

Business Incubation or Acceleration is a business support process that accelerates the successful development of start-up and fledgling companies by providing entrepreneurs with an array of targeted resources and services. The most common goals of Incubation Programs are creating jobs in the community, building or accelerating growth in a local industry and diversifying local economies. There are over one thousand Business Incubators across the United States.

Providing Incubator Management Support
 
To lay the groundwork for a successful incubation program, incubator developers must first invest time and money in a feasibility study. An effective feasibility study will help determine whether the proposed project has a solid market, a sound financial base and strong community support – all critical factors in an incubator’s success.
