A Business Incubator's prime objective is
to support start-up and growing businesses. Small to medium-sized
enterprises are very important to the economic prosperity of a
region.
Unfortunately, the survival rates of small
to medium-sized businesses have not been good - 80% do not survive
beyond 5 years. Small Businesses need to be nurtured, particularly
through their initial start-up phase. This is where Business
Incubators such as Darebin Enterprise Centre Ltd can greatly
assist.
Business Incubators are integrated
services and facilities which support independently owned and
operated business during their initial start-up growth phase.
Darebin Enterprise Centre is located on a
site chosen for its ability to cater for a range of small business
sectors including service-based, light manufacturing and
horticultural businesses.
A key function of Darebin Enterprise
Centre is to provide mentoring and support to licensee
businesses.
Businesses considered for Incubation
include:
- Start-up businesses
- Home-based businesses
- New businesses with a capacity and willingness to expand
- New Enterprise Incentive Scheme (NEIS) Graduates
- Indigenous businesses in Victoria, Tasmania and the Northern
Territory
