About Us

Welcome to the

Business Development Incubator Program (BDI)!

The BDI is a business support program that accelerates the successful development of start-up and fledgling companies by providing entrepreneurs with an array of targeted resources and services.

Our main goal is to provide assistance to increase growth potential, resulting in a self- sustaining, profitable company.

Our mission is to support the launch, growth, stabilization and long-term success of business enterprises in Susquehanna and surrounding Counties.

As a client in the Business Development Incubator, you will have access to management guidance, technical assistance and consulting tailored to young growing companies. Incubator Program Companies also have access to office space, shared basic business services and equipment, technology support services and assistance in obtaining the financing necessary for company growth.

A basic outline of the services and support available to you is summarized in this handbook (click here to see the Handbook).
