Although BOI’s services are available to all residents in the Indianapolis area, its special mission is to provide support to people who for various reasons may lack access to the business, legal, accounting and financial resources necessary to start or grow a business.
BOI is an Indianapolis-based nonprofit organization that has helped more than 3,000 clients since its launch in 1997. Think of BOI as your link to exploring, starting and growing a successful small business.
BOI offers:

• one-to-one business counseling, for guidance along the way
• life-skills coaching, in case you get stuck
• access to capital, nontraditional loans, and other financial resources
