Frequently asked questions

A business incubator is an organization designed to accelerate the growth and success of entrepreneurial companies through business support resources and services that include physical space, business coaching, common services, and networking connections. St. Croix Valley Business Innovation Center provides all of this and more!

Co-working spaces are a type of shared workspace, offering affordable office space for people who are looking for a place to work outside of their homes but are not yet ready to commit to a more long-term office lease.

Leases at St. Croix Valley Business Innovation Center vary in length. For our co-working and incubation spaces, leases can last anywhere from 1-8 years, with an ideal length of 5 years. Our 2nd-floor office space is built for an anchor tenant, meaning a more long-term lease would be required of anyone looking to move into this space.

As a member, you will recieve a key card that grants you full access to the building 24 hours every day.

The pricing of our spaces will vary by space. Looking to rent our light industrial space or our long-term 2nd-floor office space? You can find our pricing under the 'spaces' tab on our site. Our co-working space, semi-private cubicles, and private office space are purchased per month.
