	*Incubator Locator: Joining an incubator is not unlike joining a college program. Because you’ll be going to class several times per week if not every day, you’ll need to be on campus–that is, in close proximity to the incubator. This may mean relocating to be closer to an incubator if you can’t find the right fit close enough to home.		*Incubator Locator: Joining an incubator is not unlike joining a college program.

		+	'''Benefits of Business Incubators<ref>The Major Impact of Business Incubators [https://velocityglobal.com/blog/how-business-incubators-can-benefit-startups/ Velocity Global]</ref>'''<br />
		+	One of the most immediate impacts that business incubators can have on startup companies has to do with the physical space that they provide, and all of the services that are contained within. Most business incubators offer office supplies and other resources to companies— essentially everything they need to get their organization up and running in an efficient way. These resources are often shared—but they are also available in a far more cost-effective way than if the startup in question was operating entirely on their own. Because of this factor alone, it is estimated that a business incubator can help reduce the overall costs of both launching and operating a startup by between 40 and 50% in some situations.
		+
		+	Another one of the major ways that business incubators can benefit startups has to do with the wider range of funding and investment opportunities that they bring with them. The staff at a business incubator often has access to more opportunities—and from a wider range of outlets—than an entrepreneur will have on his or her own.
		+
		+	This gives those entrepreneurs a chance to meet a larger volume of potential private investors within a community that has already been built to foster innovation in the way that they need. By giving those startup founders immediate access to a strong network of potential business partners and investors, it allows them to take the most productive and proactive approach to networking that they can. This alone can mean the difference between success and failure in a lot of cases.
		+
		+	But perhaps the most important benefit that business incubators bring to startup organizations can be summed up in a single word: focus. By giving entrepreneurs access to an infrastructure that is A) already in place, B) readily available, and C) proven to work, it allows them to focus less on the administration and infrastructure side of getting a startup off the ground and can allow them to devote more of their attention to actually running that business and developing a product or service.
		+
		+	Essentially, a business incubator can help those companies cut through all the noise, giving them a unique opportunity to focus as much of their energy as possible on creating products and services, evolving those products and services in the right ways and testing them before taking them to market. Rest assured, this is an excellent position to be in.
