IMMOKALEE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER
The Immolcalee Business Development Center (IBDC) fulfills a valuable role in Immokalee and
eastern Collier County by nurturing new and needed business enterprise. However, there must be
agreement on commitment to the purpose of its existence by all parties responsible for IBDC
operation. While obviously interested in providing opportunities to entrepreneurs in the
Immolcalee community, the IBDC also must balance the need to serve that constituency with the
necessity of achieving self- sufficiency through, in part, full occupancy and a strong client mix
capable of serving the community well.
Ample resources are available to meet the technical assistance needs of IBDC clients.
Relationships with universities, technical schools, governmental agencies and other entities
currently exist and can be further developed for the benefit of IBDC clients. IBDC management
can also provide on -site technical assistance to clients on an as needed basis. Costs for providing
technical assistance can be funded from the available resources such as grants and community
partnerships in order to maximize technical assistance opportunities for clients.

Industry Trends in Business Incubation
The first known business incubator was started in 1959. More followed, and in 1984 the Small
Business Administration began actively promoting the development of business incubators. In
1985 the National Business Incubation Association (LABIA) was organized with 40 founding
members and today has grown to a membership of more than 800.
According to a recent NBIA survey there are now 550 business incubators in operation housing
and assisting development of nearly 8000 business — an average of nearly 15 businesses within
each incubator. In addition, approximately 4500 businesses that began in a business incubator
have graduated and are now operating on their own — a total that represents 80% of businesses
that were started in incubators.
Business incubators are operated to, specifically, assist a start up enterprise. Assistance is
generally provided n the following areas:
• Flexible space and leases. Rental rates are often, initially, at below market rates, but
gradually increase over the term of the lease.
• Fee based support services. Copier, clerical services, and meeting facilities are made
available at minimal cost.
• Technical assistance is available from onsite counselors at no charge. Off site TA is made
available, and partially or fully underwritten, through channels approved by incubator
management.
Business incubators are owned and operated by a variety of entities: 51% by non - profit
organizations, either public or private; 27% by universities; 16% as a joint effort of government,
non - profit, and private groups; 8% as for profit; and 5% other.
The most common types of business using incubators are: light manufacturing, technology;
service and new product development (R &D). Limited numbers of construction, sales and
marlceting, and wholesale enterprises occupy incubator space. And, although the most numerous
in terms of overall start up businesses, retailing is generally considered a poor fit for business
incubators.

Vision Statement
The IBDC would create a beehive of activity; a center for entrepreneurial creativity; a
centerpiece for the community; a center of learning; and a place for social activity.
Mission Statement
The IBDC is a learning laboratory for entrepreneurial enterprises.
Although the IBDC has operated very successfully for the past two years as an "incubator
without walls ", the IBDC is currently conducting a feasibility study to determine the need for a
facility that would provide reasonably priced rental real estate and services to accommodate the
needs of a start up businesses in Immokalee. In addition, the IBDC provides technical assistance
to the entrepreneur so that he or she may realize the full potential of their business enterprise and
of themselves as business owners and managers.
IBDC Expectations
Hold IBDC management and staff and IBDC clients to higher standard of performance
Management must deliver on promises of assistance to entrepreneurs such as one -on -one
consulting; identification of technical assistance needs and scheduling of appropriate educational
opportunities; and maintenance of the facility.
Clients must understand the 2 - year rule. Clients must be responsive to technical assistance
opportunities. Clients must continually refine the plan for their business.
Involve the entire community in the effort to find and nurture new enterprises that will serve
needs of the community.
Promotional Plans
Situational Analysis
Historical Background
Funding was established in 2009 and a joint partnership between the Collier
County Board of County Commissioners' Airport Authority and the Collier
County Community Redevelopment Agency in Immokalee was formed to serve
the business development center. Later it was determined that the Airport
Authority did not have space available for a business development and the IBDC
moved into its current space at 1320 N 15"' Street in Immokalee.

Consumer Analysis
There are multiple consumers to be served by the IBDC. First are individual or
groups wishing to start a new business in Immokalee that can utilize the many
incentives available to businesses in the Immokalee community.
The 1,333 acre Immokalee Regional Airport property sits within a State
designated Rural Enterprise Zone. Businesses that are located in this area may at
that location be eligible for Jobs tax credits, corporate, sales and use tax credits,
Sales tax refunds for business machinery, equipment, building materials, and
electrical energy used, Property tax credit, and Community contribution tax
credit.
The IBDC is also located within a federally designated HUBzone. The
Historically Underutilized Businesses Zone (HUBzone) Empowerment
Contracting Program provides federal contracting opportunities for qualified
small business within the zone. This program fosters the growth of federal
contractors.
The Immokalee Regional Airport (IMM) and Florida Tradeport is a designated
Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) offering economic advantage to companies that import
and export goods. Land within the FTZ is considered outside of US Customs
territory. As a result, duties and taxes are waived when goods enter the zone
and /or delayed until the goods are exported out of the FTZ into the U.S. market.
The Collier County Board of Commissioners established the Collier County
Economic Stimulus Program in 2003 to support economic diversification and
induce new, high -wage job creation in Collier County by supporting the
expansion of existing businesses and offering incentives to attract new industry.
Second are consumers who would benefit from the types of products and services
offered by IBDC clients" businesses. Third, the taxpayers of lmmokalee and
Collier County who will benefit from the establishment of new enterprise as long-
term viable business, that help to empower the community, create jobs and attract
private investment, pay taxes, and generally enhance the quality of life possible
for all.
Marketing, Objectives
Consumer Objectives
The IBDC will provide its clients with technical assistance necessary to provide
them every opportunity to succeed and grow.
The IBDC will serve its target market by ensuring knowledge of its existence
throughout the area; describing the opportunities it provides for new enterprises to

Competitive Analysis
In a recent planning study
Regional Planning Council
following;
11/13/2012 Item 14.6.6.
Immokalee Business Development Center IMM
Today
conducted by Florida Gulf Coast University for the South Florida
in the list of recommended actions, the study recommended the
"Flexible mixed -use incubators with a particular focus should be developed in Charlotte,
Collier, Glades, and Hendry Counties. A new incubator should be added every few years
to allow for manageable growth and the development of experience and the regional
support network. Flexible mixed -use incubators can accommodate technology companies
as well as a wide of range of business client companies that meet specific economic
development criteria such as diversification, job creation, and higher average wages and
incomes. Research has indicated that it is important for rural incubators to tie into an
established consulting and mentoring partnership network to compensate for lack of
readily available resources. I"
A business development center, operated by Collier County CRA will serve incubation
needs of small manufacturing and other enterprises.
The IBDC has a unique opportunity, given its location on Hwy. 29 in Inunokalee, to
serve multiple industries with its incubator. There are many available facilities and
locations suited to light manufacturing, service, high tech, and retailing enterprises.
While there are multiple sources for technical assistance programs crucial to development
of IBDC client businesses, the IBDC will utilize these technical assistance sources to
supplement its own program and will not attempt to duplicate existing programs that can
be utilized through partnerships with other sources.
Strategy
Product Strategy
The IBDC offers three products to its target audience: (1) a one —stop shop for
educational workshops and training (2) an Entrepreneurial School, and (3) assistance in
job creation.
Promotional Strategy
The promotional goal will be to introduce, develop and execute a strategy to position the
community of Immokalee to the world as a destination, port, playground and

e..eGutiye Summa. IMNiOKALEE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CENTER
The Immokalee Business Development Center (IBDC) can fulfill a valuable role in
Immokalee and eastern Collier County by nurturing new and needed business
enterprise. However, there must be agreement on commitment to the purpose of its
existence by all parties responsible for IBDC operation. While obviously interested in
providing opportunities to entrepreneurs in the Immokalee community, the IBDC also
must balance the need to serve that constituency with the necessity of achieving self-
sufficiency through, in part, full occupancy and a strong client mix, capable of serving the
community well.
Ample resources are available to meet the technical assistance needs of IBDC clients.
Relationships with universities, technical schools, governmental agencies and other
entities currently exist and can be further developed for the benefit of IBDC clients.
IBDC management can also provide on -site technical assistance to clients on an as
needed basis. Costs for providing technical assistance can, in part, be funded from the
current IBDC budget, but additional resources need to be pursued via grants available
for such purposes in order to maximize technical assistance opportunities for clients.

Industry Trends in Business incubation
The first known business incubator was started in 1959. More followed, and in 1984 the
Small Business Administration began actively promoting the development of business
incubators. In 1985 the National Business Incubation Association (NBIA) was organized
with 40 founding members and today has grown to a membership of more than 800.
According to a recent NBIA survey there are now 550 business incubators in operation
housing and assisting development of nearly 8000 business — an average of nearly 15
businesses within each incubator. In addition, approximately 4500 businesses that
began in a business incubator have graduated and are now operating on their own — a
total that represents 80% of businesses that were started in incubators.
Business incubators are operated to, specifically, assist a start up enterprise,
Assistance is generally provided n the following areas:
Flexible space and leases. Rental rates are often, initially, at below market
rates, but gradually increase over the term of the lease.
Fee based support services. Copier, clerical services, and meeting
facilities are made available at minimal cost.
Technical assistance is available from onsite counselors at no charge. Off
site TA is made available, and partially, or fully underwritten, through
channels approved by incubator management.
Business incubators are owned and operated by a variety of entities: 51 % by non- profit
organizations, either public or private; 27% by universities; 16% as a joint effort of
government, non - profit, and private groups; 8% as for profit; and 5% other.
The most common types of business using incubators are: light manufacturing,
technology; service and new product development (R&D). Limited numbers of
construction, sales and marketing, and wholesale enterprises occupy incubator space,
And, although the most numerous in terms of overall start up businesses, retailing is
generally considered a poor fit for business incubators.

Vision Statement
The IBDC would create a beehive of activity; a center for entrepreneurial creativity; a
centerpiece for the community; a center of learning; and a place for social activity.
Mission Statement
The IBDC is a learning laboratory for entrepreneurial enterprises.
Although the IBDC has ooerated very successfully for the oast two wears as an
"incubator without walls" the IBDC is currently conducting a feasibility study to
determine the need for a facility that would provide reasonably priced rental real estate
and services to accommodate the needs of a start up businesses in immokwee. In
addition, the IBDC provides technical assistance to the entrepreneur so that he or she
may realize the full potential of their business enterprise and of themseives as business
owners and managers.

21DC Expectations
Hold IBDC management and staff and IBDC clients to higher standard of performance.
Management must deliver on promises of assistance to entrepreneurs such as one -on-
one consulting; identification of technical assistance needs and scheduling of
appropriate educational opportunities; and maintenance of the facility.
Clients must understand the 4 2 -year rule. Clients must be responsive to technical
assistance opportunities. Clients must continually refine the plan for their business.
Involve the entire community in the effort to find and nurture new enterprises that will
serve needs of the community.
Promotional Plans
Situational Analysis
Historical Background
Funding was established in 2009 and and The Irnmekalee fund is being
established in 2009, as a joint partnership between the Collier County
Board of County Commissioners' Airport Authority and the Collier County
Community Redevelopment Agency in tmmokalee was formed to serve

the business development GenteF as a business Later it was
determined that the Airport Authority did not have space available for a
business incubator and the IBDC moved into its current space a, 1320 N
15 "' Street in Immokalee.
Consumer Analysis
There are multiple consumers to be served by the IBDC. First are
individual or groups wishing to start a new business in Immokalee that can
utilize the many incentives available to businesses in the Immokalee
community.
The 1,333 acre Immokalee Regional Airport property sits within a State
designated Rural Enterprise Zone. Businesses locating at this location
may be eligible for Jobs tax credits, corporate, sales and use tax credits,
Sales tax refunds for business machinery, equipment, building materials,
and electrical energy used, Property tax credit, and Community
contribution tax credit.
The IBDC is also located within a federally designated HUBzone. The
Historically Underutilized Businesses Zone (HUBzone) Empowerment
Contracting Program provides federal contracting opportunities for
qualified small business within the zone. This program fosters the growth
of federal contractors.
The Immokalee Regional Airport (IMM) and Florida Tradeport is a
designated Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) offering economic advantage to
companies that import and export goods. Land within the FTZ is
considered outside of US Customs territory. As a result, duties and taxes
are waived when goods enter the zone and /or delayed until the goods are
exported out of the FTZ into the U.S. market.
The Collier County Board of Commissioners established the Collier
County Economic Stimulus Program in 2003 to support economic
diversification and induce new, high -wage job creation in Collier County by
supporting the expansion of existing businesses and offering incentives to
attract new industry.
Second are consumers who would benefit from the types of products and
services offered by IBDC clients' businesses. Third, the taxpayers of
Immokalee and Collier County who will benefit from the establishment of
new enterprise as long -term viable business, that help to empower the
community, create jobs and attract private investment, pay taxes, and
generally enhance the quality of life possible for all.

Marketing Objectives
Consumer Objectives
The IBDC will provide its clients a Fell run faGility Gambined with technical
assistance necessary to provide them every opportunity to succeed and
grow.
The IBDC will serve its target market by ensuring knowledge of its
existence throughout the area; describing the opportunities it provides for
new enterprises to start up in lower risk environment; coordinating support
programs focused on the new business /entrepreneur; and publishing
success stories of its client businesses.
Competitive Analysis
In a recent planning study conducted by Florida Gulf Coast University for the
South Florida Regional Planning Council, in the list of recommended actions, the
study recommended the following:
"Flexible mixed -use incubators with a particular focus should be
developed in Charlotte, Collier, Glades, and Hendry Counties. A
new incubator should be added every few years to allow for
manageable growth and the development of experience and the
regional support network. Flexible mixed -use incubators can
accommodate technology companies as well as a wide of range of
business client companies that meet specific economic
development criteria such as diversification, job creation, and
higher average wages and incomes. Research has indicated that it
is important for rural incubators to tie into an established consulting
and mentoring partnership network to compensate for lack of
readily available resources." '
A business development center, 4iGuhat-Gr iar—ated -;;t the i,,.,., akaiee
°donna Airperf (I MM), operated by Collier County CRA will serve
incubation needs of small manufacturing and other enterprises.
The IBDC has a unique opportunity, given its location on Hwy. 29 in
Immokaiee, to serve multiple industries with its incubator. Facilities and
