Graduation Policy

The Tuscarawas County Business Incubator development program is designed to quickly launch new business ventures while helping them to rapidly achieve a level of sustained profitability. Typically, we hope this process can be completed within three to four years, allowing the firm to "graduate" from the program.

Companies may stay for longer or shorter periods of time if recommended by the Tuscarawas County Business Incubator Review Committee. Such recommendations may be based upon the extent to which the company continues to meet Incubator admission guidelines, employment growth, sales growth, financial condition, adherence to Incubator rules and regulations, cooperation and resource-sharing with other Incubator companies, and the company's participation in Tuscarawas County Business Incubator-sponsored programs.

It should be clearly understood by all applicants for admission that there is no guarantee of any particular length of tenancy. Both the Incubator director and the Review Committee will be responsible for providing each tenant company with long-range graduation planning.
