Technology has enhanced the speed of business while raising the expectations and impatience of business owners. From this challenge came the formation of The Business One Stop Shop (B.O.S.S.).

Business success is accomplished through training and development in the areas of life management, workforce relations, marketing, technology, finance, corporate management, and the art/science of the intimate relationships of politics and business. The concept is a matrix of business development that will emerge from the synergy of fellowship and proactive networking.

The vision is to house a variety of business organizations and business development agencies working together all under the same roof, almost forcing relations between the variety of organizations within the culture of business incubators.
