The Illinois SBDC at Bradley University and the Turner Center for Entrepreneurship provides one-on-one assistance, education, and research to assist small business owners and entrepreneurs who want to start, grow, or accelerate a business. As such, our business advisors are on the front lines when businesses are impacted by any kind of disruption from tornadoes to pandemics. We are fully operational and ready to assist businesses during these challenging economic conditions.
In partnership with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) and the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO), all of our advisers are prepared to assist businesses with questions on how to access SBA Disaster Assistance and programs through DCEO. There is no cost for our confidential assistance. These services are made possible through the support of the SBA, DCEO, and Bradley University.
