Best Small Business Resources in the Maui Area

Description

MRTC provides a coworking space for Maui-based tech companies. Your company can use office and conference space as well as services and amenities like high-speed wifi. This is an especially great opportunity for businesses in which owners tend to be somewhat isolated (for example, a business with only one owner/employee, or an international business). To apply for the incubator, a startup must be technology-focused and have the potential to grow in Hawaii and create jobs. They must also have funding in place to finance their stay at the incubator or have a clear path to such funding prepared.

Restrictions

Open to businesses with tech-based products or services; must have funding in place or have a clear path to receive funding.

The greatest strength of the SBDC is their free, confidential, 1-on-1 business mentoring for anyone who seeks it. Sometimes in order to be considered for mentoring from one of their professional business advisors, you may have to attend a class/workshop or at least present your business plan. SBDC's are located all throughout the state and you should use the SBDC closest to your location if possible, but you can often transfer to a different location if they do not fit your needs.
