The Business Center is a non-profit, business-incubation organization that was established in 1999 to serve the businesses and neighborhoods of Northwest Philadelphia.  Our organization works to stimulate the genesis and growth of the areas small businesses, with a special focus on businesses owned by African-Americans and women.  In addition, we focus technical assistance efforts on small businesses located in, or who are willing to locate in, low to moderate-income areas. The Business Center sees these efforts as absolutely crucial for energizing neighborhood development and economics.  It is the only small business support center in the Northwest region that aids in placing and supporting businesses on underserved corridors.

"The Business Center is an outstanding resource for start-up and established businesses.  An effective business plan is the starting ground for the success of a business and The Business Center is a great place to start and to continue to nurture your business.  I had the privilege of winning The 2007 Enterprising Woman Business Plan Competition, and feel honored to be acknowledged by the organization."
