SBDC clients may visit our resource room containing computer programs, video tapes and reference material on a variety of business topics. If you are thinking about getting into business and want general information, if you are looking for information on business plans or financing, or if you want to conduct a financial analysis of your company, the SBDC reference section can be a valuable resource. There is no charge to use the resource center.
We maintain a database of accountants, attorneys, consultants, banks and other business providers who are particularly attuned to small-business needs. As the business services arm of the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, the SBDC can answer your questions concerning SBA and state financing programs, bank lending and capitalization options available to small-business owners.
