Business Incubator Survey

The Arrowhead Center is conducting a feasibility study for a business incubator to serve Southern New Mexico and be located on the NMSU campus. An incubator is a program that helps small businesses (including start-ups and existing firms) be more successful. It often includes a building that houses 10-20 small and start-up businesses who share things like photocopiers, computers, and conference rooms. Incubators also give small and start-up businesses easy access to business assistance, through workshops and one-on-one help. Sometimes that assistance is also available to companies that are not tenants of the incubator.

The study will help to determine if the incubator will further the economic, business and community development goals of the area and what set of services, programs and facilities might be needed to support small and early-stage businesses. You, as a local business owner or manager, can provide much needed input into the decision making process by answering a short (11 questions) on-line survey. To participate, please follow the link below by October 26th.
