Small Business Incubator Program

Sparta Town Square is an award-winning, proven approach to enabling new businesses to develop their ideas in a low-risk environment. The purpose of the program is to provide affordable, turnkey locations for entrepreneurs to launch retail businesses and to bridge the gap between capital-strapped start-ups and empty storefronts. It’s an opportunity to market those ideas in downtown Sparta, where successful tenants have the opportunity to grow capital or into a brick-and-mortar location.

This is a perfect place to grow a retail business! 

​
