CHICAGO — Seven new state-run facilities will open this summer season to give a boost to Illinois small companies.
The Small Business Development Centers set to release in July or already opened are in Chicago, Elgin and Joliet. The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Development stated the $11.five million effort brings the overall of facilities statewide to 42.
“With many Illinois businesses currently facing unprecedented burdens as a result of COVID-19 and recent civil unrest, our SBDC community partners can be a lifeline for businesses working to reopen safely,” stated Michael Negron, performing director of the dept.
Business homeowners can get one-on-one confidential recommendation and help on the facilities on many subjects together with schooling, coaching and trade making plans.
The facilities even have helped small companies search monetary help all the way through the coronavirus pandemic, which pressured many to near or dramatically exchange daily operations.
