Business Incubator Program
The Lake County Board of County
Commissioners recently entered a partnership agreement with the
City of Leesburg and University of
Central Florida (UCF) Research Foundation to further strengthen the business
incubator at the
Leesburg Business & Technology Center, located at 600 Market St., Leesburg
The agreement will provide tools, training and infrastructure to start-up
companies at the incubator that was created about a year ago through a
partnership between Leesburg, Lake-Sumter
Community College Business Resources Center,
Leesburg Chamber of Commerce and
SCORE.
With five other incubators throughout Central Florida, this will be UCF’s first
incubator in Lake County. The UCF
Research Foundation will provide a variety of services to fledgling
companies at the Leesburg incubator, such as networking, business counseling,
finance & accounting, education, intellectual properties, technology, legal
services, marketing, office operations and public relations.
