Business advisement & mentoring:  One of the biggest boosts for a new business is to have knowledgeable people to turn to for advice.  Let us help you avoid some of the common mistakes and benefit from the experience of others.

Kitchen space: If you need kitchen facilities, we can help find space to rent in an existing, commercially-licensed kitchen. (In the future, NCFI plans to have its own kitchen facility for member companies to use.)

Support: Everyone starting a new business needs support. We offer networking, problem-solving and support groups and programs for the founders and managers of our member companies.

Training and advisement:  NCFI runs periodic seminars to provide basic business skills in marketing, finance, accounting, and related areas.

Professional Services: When you need a reliable printer, attorney, accountant or other professional, we can help via referrals. The professionals we work with offer discounts to members of NCFI.
