The Bay County Small Business Incubator (BCSBI) is a non-profit small business incubator program established with a mission to give new and existing service and light manufacturing businesses the training and tools to become successful.
Did You Know?
Small businesses are the fastest growing segment in American commerce and they create 98% of all new jobs. Over 50% of all small businesses fail in the first year, and 80% within five years. Often entrepreneurs know how to produce "the work," but lack the skills necessary for operating a business, and cannot afford the time and expense of education. Equally important, are start-up costs and fixed expenses of operation, which drain hard pressed capital. This is where the BCSBI can assist you! The BCSBI provides office and warehouse space to new and existing businesses at competitive market rates. We also provide our “budding” companies with the resources and business counseling needed to fill the gaps in their expertise in order to increase their chances of success.
The Bay County Small Business Incubator is a 35,000 square foot facility with space available to lease on an annual basis. We are located conveniently to highways 77, 231, and 98. Easy access to downtown Panama City, local banks, the Lynn Haven Post Office, UPS, Federal Express, and the airport makes the Incubator ideal for light manufacturing and service industries.
