    About this ebook

    A small business is hard to start and maintain in many small communities. Too often, it becomes a business broken community where local bias outweighs the community spirit that should be happening. In order to change this broken community business model, we need to form incubators and accelerators. Just as an egg is incubated from birth to ensure its full growth potential, so must new start-up businesses be incubated in order to create jobs and fix the business broken community. Start Up Incubators and Business Accelerators breaks down how this system is currently not working in our small communities and what it will take; from building, office equipment, people and support; to break free from what’s not working into something that can. Take the initiative in your community today by reading this book.

    Starting an incubator and accelerator will create not one, but multiple, successful new companies. If 18 out of 20 businesses that are incubated are failures, the 2 companies that do succeed will shower a community in profits, growth and new jobs.

    Over the past 40 years, startups have created almost all the new job growth around the world. This book will teach how to nurture startups through the creation of locally based business incubator and accelerators.
