It was established to provide entrepreneurs with the information, tools, and resources needed to develop business ideas and to become viable, profitable, and successful.

In 2003, the Center moved to the sixth floor of the NC Mutual Life Insurance Company Building, and in 2018, the Center moved to its current location in the Chesterfield Building, also downtown.
