When I decided to commit my time, energy, and financial resources to supporting small business I began the search for office space. I wanted to locate my business where other small businesses were located. I wanted to have an opportunity to interact with other small business owners on a daily basis. I began to look at the “incubators” that were available and quickly realized that what was available is dedicated to technology businesses. For the small business owner who is not focused on a new, exciting technology, the options were pretty limited. Although there is ample office space available in today’s market, there is no Class A space available where a small business who is working out of their house can pack up and move in to a new office that is ready. This would be an office that has the necessary infrastructure in place and puts the small business owner in a community environment where they interact with other small business owners.I made a decision that if Rough Air is going to be dedicated to small business we were going to dedicate ourselves in every possible way. Part of that effort is to commit to early stage businesses with either angel investing or housing. The Rough Air Small Business Centers are designed to give the business owner Class A space with the amenities they need and an environment that supports their entrepreneurial efforts.
