The Enterprise Center at Salem State College is both a business incubator where startup small businesses may lease space in the center's building and a virtual center for entrepreneurs throughout the North Shore at every stage of business development. The Center provides dozens of free programs to small business owners to improve their business skills, sponsors an annual business plan competition, and promotes the creative economy. Our goal is to foster and grow our region’s economy and the small business sector in our region. The Enterprise Center manifests the commitment of Salem State College to be a major force in the economic and cultural development of the North Shore in the 21st Century and a "good neighbor" in the City of Salem.

To help support growing businesses, the Massachusetts Office of Small Business & Entrepreneurship (OSBE), under the leadership of Executive Director André Porter, works with the State's many service providers of technical assistance and financing, as well as directly with small businesses to help provide the resources necessary for success. Whether your business is early stage or is well established, having the right information, assistance and training will allow your company to thrive, grow and succeed in Massachusetts.
