FAQ:

What is a Business Incubator? A support process that accelerates the successful development of start-up and fledgling companies by providing an array of targeted resources and services.

Historically, NBIA member incubators have reported that 87 percent of all firms that have graduated from their incubators are still in business five years later. The Small Business Administration reports that after five years the majority of businesses are no longer in business.
