Incubator Program
About the Incubator Program Incubator Clients

MHCC has one of a few non-profit in-house incubator programs in Texas and the only one in the West Texas area. The MHCC Incubation Program provides early stage businesses or home based businesses ready to move to an office environment with resources that will help them succeed. Each incubator accepted into the program has access to an office and office equipment as well as other shared resources like a copier, which reduces initial start up expenses.

Business Incubation is a proven model that catalyzes the process of starting and growing companies and provide entrepreneurs with the expertise, networks, and tools they need to make their ventures successful. Graduates have the potential to create jobs, revitalize neighborhoods, introduce creative strategies, and strengthen local economies. MHCC Incubators contributed $1.5M to our local economy in 2006.

Nation-wide, 87% of companies started in incubator programs have gone on to succeed, and have remained in business.

Developed specifically for new businesses and home-based businesses ready to advance, the program offers business development counseling and a cooperative environment that utilizes shared resources, which lower a company's overhead and increases their capacity to succeed long-term.

The MHCC Business Development Center nurtures its clients, enabling growth through support services and assistance in bringing services and products to the forefront of the marketplace.
