Small Business Incubator Resource Kit.
Small Business Administration, Washington, DC.
This kit consists of a set of resources to assist those interested in the start-up and management (incubation) of a new business. A guide to starting and managing a small business incubator (SBI) is provided. Included in the guide are the following: a discussion of the role and characteristics of the SBI concept; guidelines for carrying out the SBI development process (establishing a working group, defining goals and objectives, collecting information on other projects, analyzing the local economic base and small business support network, performing preliminary financial feasibility studies, reviewing data, identifying and selecting a suitable facility, developing a marketing strategy); nine worksheets on the aforementioned topics and an appendix that explains SBI facilities and methods of financing an incubator. Three pamphlets provide perspectives of some persons involved in SBI, a directory of state contact persons for the 50 states and SBIs currently in existence in some of the states, and a summary of additional resources on SBIs. A sample issue of the Small Business Administration's newsletter, "Incubator Times," is also included. (MN)
