Q. What is the difference between a business accelerator and a business incubator? --Lincoln

A. Terms such as business accelerator and business incubator are used in different contexts depending on the business, industry and even geographical area. In general, both are focused on assisting startup businesses, but in slightly different ways.

Generally speaking, a business incubator provides a support community for a startup business to be successful. This may entail providing physical space, consulting support, and resources in the form of education, training or strategy.
