Small Business Development Incubator

(SBDI) 

A Small Business Development Incubator, (SBDI) is a modular business development service that is attached to shared-office-facilities. SBDIs are excellent for small and home-based businesses that need part-time support.

The Fast Track Business Development Program builds business models and franchises for small and home based business owners.  It certifies a special class of model and/or franchise used exclusively for equity funding. Certified business models are built in development incubators, at the request of concept owners and/or potential investors. Developing a business model around a concept is the best way for a start-up business venture to obtain equity funding, in the post Internet boom-era, entrepreneurs who are seeking venture funding with a third party verified business model, and a performance record, stand a better chance of attracting venture capital.  

The investment community now gives a business venture less than three years to show a profit. Therefore, a successful business model or franchise must be built on a growth platform where it can receive additional assistance when needed.

Merrill Lynch, the investment brokerage house is now funding ideas originating from its more than 70,000 employees. They have selected Arthur Anderson Consulting as their incubator development team to build their third party verified business models for the project. However, the average small business cannot afford to enroll their business venture into the Anderson Incubator Program.  The Lynch Merrill program signals that there is a shortage of good business models that can be turned into Initial Public Offering (IPO) for Wall Street, and other stock exchange around the world. Most small business owners can’t afford Author Anderson; therefore they turn to a Small Business Development Incubator to get the kind of business model that will be successful beyond the start-up stage.

Millions of dollars in equity financing await young entrepreneurs who are willing to build business models around their concepts and ideas, before they apply for investment funds. The Fast Track Program includes a Venture Capital Bank that will have more than 100 investment funding sources for small businesses with certified business models. Therefore, entrepreneurs who want to start and grow a business will no longer have to search endlessly for venture capital. However, to get private venture funding new entrepreneurs must be willing to treat their business enterprises as investments, with short-term growth goals, and must agree in advance to take their venture public, using an Initial Public Offering (IPO) or make the business available for sale within five years.  Even though the standard for starting a business is getting higher, the access to equity funding has been lowered.
