Entrepreneurship

Grinnell offers several unique opportunities for entrepreneurs. Those looking to start a retail business can launch their new offering from the Marketplace on Main, where dozens of small businesses share a prime downtown storefront at a fraction of the cost. With a shared POS register, pooled marketing resources and professional management, the Marketplace on Main makes achieving your dreams much easier.

Other entrepreneurs needing office space can take advantage of the 821 Corporate Offices. This downtown building offers everything from fully-furnished cubicles where you simply add a computer to office suites or even an entire floor. By renting only what space is needed, entrepreneurs can greatly reduce operating costs.

Location assistance is also available for those looking for existing buildings or ready-to-build lots.
