Developing businesses often look to the big, well-known support organizations in Michigan like TechTown, because these big support organizations often do a great job of marketing themselves and getting their name out to the public. They also often have a history of success with business development, so they spring to the top of the mind.
In looking across the breadth of the economic development landscape, there are so many other smaller resource providers that you may have never heard about, and they offer some interesting options to assist with your business development. In the city of Detroit, where The MORE Program is based, you can find dozens of local economic development groups and neighborhood associations that support business development in their own ways. For example, two partners of The MORE Program, The Brightmoor Alliance and The Warren/Conner Development Corporation, both offer commercial kitchen facilities to support the development of food-based businesses in and around their communities.
A commercial kitchen is used for preparing food for the legal sale to the public or membership of an organization that uses the kitchen. These kitchens must usually be inspected by the local health department or another authority before it can be used for commercial purposes. The kitchens also often include very expensive kitchen equipment that assists with the bulk production of foodstuffs - equipment you would almost never find in a traditional private kitchen.
Take advantage of what is out there! You can create your food product legally and efficiently, without purchasing an entire commercial kitchen yourself.
