Build Your Business with Confidence

You have great ideas, did your research, and put together a business plan, and now it’s time to launch your startup.  “Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard.” Indeed. Unforeseen challenges such as financial management issues, ineffective marketing, and skill gaps can hinder achieving your business goals. Fortunately, business incubators, which help serve as launchpads for startup and early-stage companies, strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

A business incubator aims to facilitate the development of entrepreneurial companies by offering various business support services that range from coaching to financial management assistance to building networking connections and more. While the concept has existed since the 1950s, the number of incubator programs has grown substantially as today’s business landscape has become more challenging.

Research indicates that incubator programs positively impact the success rate of startups. In fact, after five years, businesses nurtured in a business incubator have a survival rate of 87%, according to The National Business Incubator Association in a Business News Daily article. By comparison, the survival rate for companies that go it alone without the benefits of incubator support is 50%.

Business incubation is a learning process. While it is essential to enter a program with a strong business plan and clear goals, it is also vital to be open to accepting help in honing the development of your business. A top benefit of an incubator is the guidance of mentors and experts in the field who can help you identify needs and grow connections. Another advantage is collaborating and building relationships with other entrepreneurs within your cohort group. Supporting and exchanging ideas with other business owners can motivate you—and each other—to achieve greater success.
