National Business Incubation Association

Though a somewhat controversial model for developing successful new businesses, incubators are certainly worth exploring by entrepreneurs with a new idea or by seasoned managers looking for a new career. Incubators allow new businesses to share, under one roof, resources such as staffing, management expertise, and access to financing. The National Business Incubation Association (NBIA) is the industry's largest private, nonprofit association and its site provides resources to both entrepreneurs and those providing incubation services. In addition to the expected listings of industry events, publications, and groups, you'll find the NBIA's Principles and Best Practices for incubators, as well as 10 Keys to Incubation Success.
