Empowering Small Businesses to Scale and Succeed

The Center for Economic Recovery (CER) offers a range of programs designed to support businesses at every stage of their growth. Our programs are tailored to meet the unique needs of rural-owned businesses, micro-businesses, home-based businesses, and economically disadvantaged small businesses.

Our Flagship Program: i-Cubator

What is i-Cubator

i-Cubator is a suite of business development tools that help rural-owned businesses, micro-businesses, home-based businesses, and economically disadvantaged small businesses get access to better resources, information, relationships, and business opportunities.

Entrepreneur Development and Growth of Small Businesses

The challenge for most Small Business Incubators is the lack of a Business Development Component. The emphasis is placed on “starting” a business rather than “scaling” a business. The i-Cubator focuses on growing businesses through acceleration programming. We recognize that the biggest challenge you face as a small business is getting timely access to potential opportunities.

Mission and Vision

We connect small business owners marginalized by economic and geographic boundaries with companies, organizations, and government agencies awarding large contracts. We teach our participants how to organize and prepare their businesses to fulfill high-value commercial and federal contracts.

How We Help Small Businesses Grow

As an active, participating member of the I-Cubator Program, you will get access to a custom curriculum specifically for your business and industry.
