- Yes, most incubator programs provide secretarial service and payroll/tax
- service. They also provides furnitures and other office equipments such as
- faxes, copiers and telephones. Not only that, they even provides small items
- like cutters, 3-hole punchers and telephone cords. A tightly-budgeted
- small companies can save lots of money from using the service.
- I stronly recommend entrepreneurs out there to find out more about the
- incubator programs in your neighborhood.

- The quality of a incubator program varies one from another. Even with
- the same program, the quality heavily depends on the program director
- and the staff. Therefore, one must go and chat with the staff and the
- tenants to see how the program is directed/managed. Shop around a little.
- I think the quality of the program may determine your business success.
-
- I'm in University of Illinois incubator program. If you need to know
- one excellently directed program, I think this program is the one.

- (Sorry I don't know any programs in Nashville.)
