Creating affordable voluntary benefits packages to recruit and retain great employees; and lastly,

The Business Innovation Center (BIC) itself grew out of recognition of the importance of small businesses and our need to diversify our local economy. Not to be confused with the Small Business Development Center, the BIC offers business expertise, mentoring, networking and access to resources to our clients, from start-ups to those expanding from home-based operation to foothold firms looking to test our local business waters and relocate here. Find out how the BIC can work for you by scheduling a free Discovery Session at our offices on the FSU-Panama City campus: 850-770-2451 or Info@businessinformationcenter.com
