Business Development Center
Our Services
Incubator
The incubator is a shared workspace for business owners. The facility includes high-end private cubicle-style offices. A shared kitchen and shared conference room is also available. The incubator has been designed to provide each office space with private (not shared) communication services, such as phone and internet. Each office is rented on a monthly basis. Wireless Internet is included in the rental fee. Your firm will independently contract for telephone and private Internet services; all other utility costs are included in the rent.
Experts
The BDC provides a broad array of business mentoring services. The services are free of charge and are provided by BDC employees or by our network of volunteers. Our mentors possess a wide range of business skills and real world experience in a variety of industries. We screen all prospective clients for seriousness of purpose, intent and proposed timeline for action. That process typically begins by your telling us a little about yourself and your business or concept so we can determine whether you and your business are good candidates for this service.
Skills
A successful entrepreneur requires specific skills and knowledge. The BDC offers various business related workshops throughout the year. Each workshop is dedicated to a particular topic. Look at the calendar on our website to learn about the currently scheduled workshops.
Financing
Finding the right source of funding for your small business can be daunting, but the BDC is committed to supporting local entrepreneurs at every stage of their business development. That’s why we’ve partnered with UCEDC, a nonprofit economic development corporation, to ensure you have access to the financing options you need: provided you qualify.
