Business Incubation 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. A business incubator’s main goal is to produce successful firms that will leave the program financially viable and freestanding. These incubator graduates have the potential to create jobs, revitalize neighborhoods, commercialize new technologies, and strengthen local and national economies. Incubators also provide clients with access to appropriate rental space and flexible leases, shared basic business services and equipment, and technology support services, as well as mentoring and coaching to achieve financial stability and to locate the financing necessary for company growth.
