Start Your Business

Over 50? This is the place to start a great business

Our award-winning Virtual Incubator™ (VI) startup program will take the overwhelm and tedium out of getting your business up and running after you leave corporate.

Start a Business 
After You Leave Corporate
and Keep Doing Rewarding Work

After thirty years or more working many individuals look forward to leaving their corporate jobs…and yet, once they do so, one in four will report that they are struggling to pass the time, and nearly a third are unsure whether they saved or invested enough to live comfortably for the remainder of their life.

If you are a former corporate manager who misses the excitement and variety of work life, or who wants to supplement your post-corporate income (or both), it could be time to start a business of your own.

Watch the video below to learn how the Virtual Incubator program helps you speed up the launch of your new business.

About us

Hi, we are the Virtual Incubator team ready to serve you

Started by serial entrepreneur Jeff Williams during the 1990 recession, Bizstarters has helped hundreds of individuals over age 50 start their post-corporate businesses. (That’s Jeff to the right).

Our first clients were corporate managers who had been downsized at work, many from major Chicago-based corporations like Sears and Motorola. With training funds secured from the US Department of Labor, several dozen of these former managers were able to start their own thriving businesses.

The first Bizstarters program received an award for program excellence from the State of Illinois, and we weren’t done there.

With the rise of the internet, we were able to supplement our signature program with a companion online planning tool to help clients prepare for their coaching sessions. Later, we launched the Bizstarters Virtual Incubator Business Startup Program, which allowed us to reach an even wider audience of individuals who wanted to start their own business after leaving corporate jobs.

The Bizstarters mantra is: “Do what you do best. We do the rest.”

We want our clients to focus on creating a product or service based on their own interests, talent, and expertise, while working with coaches and a support team that can build a fully functioning business around it.

“The Best Startup Guides in The Business!”

“If you are ready to start your own business, but don’t really know what to do, I recommend you talk with Jeff. When I was leaving the corporate world a few years ago, he set up my website and gave me many suggestions of what to do and in what order to do them. He asked questions to help me figure out what I wanted to do specifically and how to proceed”.
