Entrepreneurial work can be pretty isolating. Often, you do everything by yourself behind closed doors. At the Wausau Business Incubator, you can be in a space that offers the opportunity to build community. People here understand what being an entrepreneur and startup is like - they are going through it too.

The Wausau Business Incubator takes a little bit of the weight off your shoulders when first starting a business. Because of all of the services included, you don’t have to worry when something goes wrong - like a leaky roof or plumbing issue. Those details are all taken care of so you can stay focused on growing your business

For a lot of new business owners, you want all of the amenities the Wausau Business Incubator provides, but it's hard to get them all in one place. I needed a copier, a fax machine, data connections, and a mailroom. The Wausau Business Incubator has it all. Maybe more importantly they have a cafe, so I didn’t need to spend time driving to get lunch!

The WBI's location in the industrial park was a plus for us because, as a manufacturer, that’s where a lot of our customers are. The big benefit from my perspective was the shared services. As a business owner starting out, we didn’t have to be concerned with mowing the lawn, cleaning bathrooms, snow removal, or even sweeping the halls. Having a forklift was also great, and another expense we didn’t have to worry about.

I had a business idea built on my passion but wasn’t entirely sure how to get started. The Wausau Business Incubator was the catalyst I needed and made it easy to take that leap.

The Wausau Business Incubator is a facility that offers so much to an entrepreneur. Not only from an educational standpoint but to be able to surround yourself with people who know business, because they’ve been in business, is invaluable. They take your vision and help you to make it a reality.
