About the NEC

The National Entrepreneur Center is dedicated to the development, growth, and success of small businesses. Through a cooperative effort of a diverse group of organizations, we offer easy access to professional business assistance, quality educational programming, and practical industry expertise.

Since 2003, The National Entrepreneur Center has built a national model of community collaboration to support small business growth and development. We quickly connect entrepreneurs and small business owners to a growing network of resources offering a wide variety of business-building services for small businesses. This regional approach to small business support provides efficiency, and leverage for the non-profit agencies, while enabling entrepreneurs to quickly locate needed resources in a single visit.

The ongoing collaboration of non-profit organizations, local governments, and community leaders in Central Florida has caused our region to continually rate as a top spot in America for starting and growing a business.
