Starting a new business can be exciting, challenging and stressful all at once. Regardless of whether you’re starting a small online side project or launching a full-time venture, that initial period is always the hardest part. However, if you have the right support network in place, everything becomes much easier to handle. That’s why it is essential to recognize the value of startup business resources before, during and after your company’s launch phase.

It may seem like there are an infinite number of hurdles to clear as you're launching your company, but The University of Toledo Business Incubator offers a wide variety of resources to help new founders get off on the right foot.
