1 Business Incubator Training Program Thank you for your interest in becoming a member of the LINC Incubator Training Program. We at LINC community revitalization inc., are committed to helping you as a business owner or entrepreneur learn the business principles to achieve sustainability and fully thrive in our local business district. The LINC Incubator Training Program is a 3 year program involving extensive training, guidance, and mentoring for start-up or existing businesses that are serious about taking their business to the next level. We acknowledge that local businesses with proper training and technical assistance will enhance our neighborhood and our business district by occupying local commercial space and creating job opportunities for local residents. Our commitment is to enhance our local business district. Being a business owner is difficult and current studies show that most businesses fail within the first five years of existence. While business owners may have the best product or service, most lack the resources, information, and access to capacity that is needed to succeed. Members of our LINC Incubator Training Program will be able to house their business at rents below market rate, acquire access to professional services, and procure networking opportunities. Constant one-on-one guidance will be available to ensure that you are equipped with the business principles necessary to become completely viable and totally sustainable. If you are serious about the success of your business and think you are ready for a 3 year long commitment equipping you to become a successful business owner, this program is right for you! Please review the enclosed material and complete the application and return to LINC for review and consideration. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to call Jorge Gonzalez, Economic Development Director at or Jorge@lincrev.org.
