Delaware County is anchored by Muncie and Ball State University — one of Indiana's largest public universities. The university drives a significant portion of the local economy, while healthcare and legacy manufacturing round out the business landscape.
Yorktown's growing suburban corridor, a revitalizing downtown Muncie, and the county's affordable cost of doing business attract entrepreneurs, trades operations, and professional services firms that serve both the university community and the broader east-central Indiana region.
Whether your business is headquartered in Muncie or operating out of a smaller community, we serve the entire county with the same level of service.
The county seat and home to Ball State University — a college town with a revitalizing downtown, healthcare economy, and strong trades sector.
Growing suburban community west of Muncie — strong schools, retail growth, and professional services.
Small community along US-67 — trades, local retail, and residential growth.
Eastern Delaware County — small-town businesses, agriculture-adjacent services, and local retail.

Serving Delaware County means knowing it. Here's the local context that shapes how businesses operate across the county.
Delaware County's identity is shaped by two forces: Ball State University and the manufacturing legacy of the Ball Brothers glass company. The Ball family's philanthropy built hospitals, parks, and institutions that still anchor the community today.
Ball State University enrolls 20,000+ students and is the county's largest employer. The university generates demand for student housing, restaurants, retail, and professional services. IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital is the county's primary healthcare anchor, employing thousands.
Today, Delaware County is working to diversify beyond education and healthcare. The Muncie Innovation Connector supports new businesses, Yorktown's suburban growth attracts families and entrepreneurs, and the county's affordable commercial real estate makes it attractive for trades and manufacturing operations.

No. If you don't have QuickBooks Online, we can set it up as part of your onboarding. If you already have an account, we'll connect to it and clean it up as needed. We also connect Puzzle.io for real-time dashboards and an instant snapshot of your books before beginning regular monthly service.
