Entrepreneurs Wanted

Welcome to the Dresden Business Incubator webpage. Over the past twenty years Dresden has been the destination for millions of visitors. These visitors stay at our bed and breakfasts, shop in our many fine retail stores and eat in our restaurants. With the privilege of hosting these guests comes the responsibility of making certain that we meet their expectations.

We know that our guests enjoy the variety and diversity that the many small owner operated businesses offer. We also know that we must continue to attract entrepreneurs with new ideas to keep Dresden interesting and fun.

If you have a business idea that you would like to grow in Dresden the time has never been better. We have property owners with space available that understand it takes time for new businesses to get a foothold and that conserving every dollar is crucial during that incubation period. To help new businesses get started, they have offered reduced rents to attract the types of businesses that will add to the variety we offer our guests.

We hope to attract not only tourist related businesses, but also small businesses that will provide services to our community. We have affordable locations available for these types of businesses as well. Please consider making Dresden the home of your new business or as a satellite location you have developed elsewhere. Below is a partial list of properties available in the Dresden area. The Dresden Welcome Center can answer any questions you may have about Dresden and direct you to others who can help with starting your new business. Call (740) 754-3401 to get your business started in Dresden.
