The Small Business Incubator provides free one-to-one counseling for business owners or prospective owners to assist them in getting started or with a specific area of concern. Counseling can cover a variety of topics ranging from licensing and marketing to patents and trademarks. We also offer a variety of resources and services to help businesses start and grow, including business incubation.
Worshops, Classes, Seminars, Expos and Camps
Workshops, seminars, expos and camps are sponsored by the Center to assist the business entrepreneur with continuing education in the areas of management and supervision, communications, taxes and the “how tos” of operating a business, as well as other topics.
Living Your Dream in the Asheville/WNC Business Community
We are now offering a new program, “Living Your Dream”, that will provide real-life experiences for clients thinking of starting a bed and breakfast or a restaurant business. In addition, the program will generate income for existing businesses and help stimulate growth in North Carolina’s hospitality and tourism industry.
The program, “Living Your Dream,” will establish a network of model businesses that will expose Small Business Center clients to actual work practices, principles, and problems. The current model available to do a 3-day intensive work study program is The Big Mill, a bed and breakfast located in Williamston, NC.

Hi guys,
I know this might be a bit off topic but seeing that a bunch of you own websites, where would the best place be to host. Someone recommended I use Blue Host for $6.95 a month which seems like a great deal. Anyone here on ashevillebusinessnetworking.com using them?

I am not familiar with Blue Host but I have used GoDaddy and IX Web Hosting, both of which are a lower price and have great customer service. I have a friend who uses Varial (might be spelled Variel) and the customer service is great as well, but I am not sure of the price. The key is to check out the website of the hosting company and see what customer service contacts they offer. Sorry it took so long to answer this question, your comment was caught in the spam filter. Hope this info helps.
