Starting and running a business is hard work!
Having the right tools, and knowing how to use them, can make it easier. The Business Incubator has the tools to help nurture a business during the most vulnerable, early-growth stages. We provide an all-inclusive, "plug-and-play" office environment so the business owner can focus on growing the business.
Our services include reduced rent with flexible leases for furnished office space, free parking, shared access to administrative assistance, technology, office equipment (except computers), break rooms, and a conference/training room. In addition, we provide just-in-time management counseling and referrals to other local business assistance providers and resources.
Annual business bankruptcy filings are up from 19.7 thousand in 2006 to 60.84 thousand in 2009, according to the SBA Office of Advocacy, Quarterly Indicators published May 2010. Business incubators reduce the risk of small business failures. According to the National Business Incubator Association, 87 percent of all firms that have graduated from a business incubator are still in business.
Stop by our offices at 2009 West Beauregard, or call us at 325-657-9214 to learn more about the tools we have available to help ensure your business success.
