Could my business be more competitive? Where can I
find professional assistance to stabilize my business,
plan for the future or expand my current sales market?
Should I be exporting? Can I compete for government
contracts?
The answers to these and other business questions can
be found within the Illinois Small Business
Development Center Network (ISBDCN).
The ISBDCN is designed to meet the management
needs of Illinois' small businesses. The Network centers
have teamed up with many business development
groups whose primary mission is to contribute to the
economic growth and development of Illinois
companies.
The Network will provide or arrange for confidential
one-on-one business counseling and specialized
services. The Network centers offer a unique blend of
both public and private professionals that will provide
in-depth business counseling, specialized business as¬
sistance resources and quality training to enhance the
success of your business.
