Statistics demonstrate that eight out of 10 new
businesses starting up in America today will fail within the first five
years due to improper planning, a lack of operating capital, or both. On
the other hand, only two of 10 businesses utilizing incubators such as
the local VOBC fail within the first five years. The regional office of
the Small Business Development Center is located at the VOBC, providing
needed support for entrepreneurs.
The Madison Area Chamber of Commerce also has its
offices at the VOBC facility. Membership in the local Chamber of
Commerce is conducive not only to a strong business community, but
offers numerous benefits to individual members.
