"It is important that the city and business community maintain open communications to be certain that local issues that can be addressed are addressed. The city must respond to service requests (traffic issues that delay or prevent delivery and shipping, utilities etc) and serve as a conduit for state and federal assistance. These include workforce training programs, marketing programs to successfully do business with the federal and state governments, discounted or guaranteed loans, tax incentive for new investment to name but a few. " - Mayor Chuck Oberlie Michigan City Entrepreneur Center The Entrepreneur Center of Michigan City is a multi-client (multi-tenant) facility for new and growing small businesses that provides a supportive environment where entrepreneurs can acquire lease space at affordable rates and benefit from support services, resources, training and business advice, all in one location. The success and profitability of small enterprise depends on the assistance it receives in its early stages.

The Indiana Small Business Development Center is a state based organization offering a wealth of free and low cost information, management counseling, and educational services designed to support Indiana small business owners and potential entrepreneurs. Our mission is to help Indiana business grow and create new jobs within the state. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) was created in 1953 as an independent agency of the federal government to aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive enterprise and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of our nation. We recognize that small business is critical to our economic recovery and strength, to building America's future, and to helping the United States compete in today's global marketplace. Although SBA has grown and evolved in the years since it was established in 1953, the bottom line mission remains the same. The SBA helps Americans start, build and grow businesses.

Virgin Islands and Guam.
