Business Incubators and Facilitators in India


A Business Incubator is a facility designed to assist businesses to become established and sustainable during their start up phase. Typically, they do this by providing- shared premises, business advice, business services, access to investor, market and international networks, mentoring and a full-time, hands-on management team.

Business incubators are programs designed to accelerate the successful development of entrepreneurial companies through an array of business support resources and services, developed and orchestrated by incubator management and offered both in the incubator and through its network of contacts. Incubators vary in the way they deliver their services, in their organizational structure, and in the types of clients they serve. Successful completion of a business incubation program increases the likelihood that a start-up company will stay in business for the long term.

The main goal of most business incubation programmes is to produce companies that create jobs and wealth in their communities. Business incubators nurture the development of entrepreneurial companies, helping them survive and grow during the start-up period, when they are most vulnerable.

Business incubators provide their resident companies with business support services and resources such as guidance, assistance with business planning and help obtaining financing. Incubators usually also offer companies rental space with flexible leases, shared basic office services and access to equipment all under one roof.


What makes a business incubator successful?

Incubator developers must first invest time and money in a feasibility study to lay the groundwork for a successful incubation programme. An effective feasibility study will help determine whether the proposed project has all the factors crucial to an incubator's success - a solid market, a sound financial base and strong community support.

Once established, model business incubation programmes commit to industry best practices such as structuring for financial sustainability, recruiting and appropriately compensating management with company-growing skills, building an effective board of directors, and prioritising management's time to place the greatest emphasis on resident assistance.


How do incubators help start-ups get funding?

Incubators help resident companies secure capital in a number of ways, including:
  • Connecting companies with angel investors (high-net-worth individual investors).
  • Working with companies to perfect venture capital presentations and connecting them to venture capitalists.
  • Assisting companies in applying for loans.
  • Assisting companies in accessing government agency (e.g. NZTE, Technology NZ) business assistance grant programmes.
