Application Process

The Application Process

Step One: Does Your Business Fit?

Identifying the appropriate companies to be part of the Incubator is key to the overall synergy of the program. The quality of a company's business plan and their potential for growth, impact their contribution to the local economy.

Incubator companies are expected to be locally owned, have a business plan and be a full-time venture.

Step Two: Let's Meet and Discuss

The application process begins with a preliminary interview to determine whether the Incubator can provide useful services to the company. Afterwards, they are invited to submit a formal application to be evaluated by a professional business consultant who will review the company's business plan, resources, etc. This determines if the company is a good fit for the Incubator's mission of strengthening the local economy through its growth and employment.

Step Three: Logistics

Upon acceptance to the program, companies will receive a lease agreement, welcome packet, and meet with the administrator to go over any questions about setting up equipment, internet, phone service, etc...
