Free Help for Your Business: Meet the SBDC

About this event

Running a business comes with plenty of questions. Where do you turn when you need help figuring out your finances, developing a growth strategy, accessing capital, researching your market, or simply deciding what to do next?

The Illinois Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at Oakton College offers no-cost, confidential business advising to Illinois entrepreneurs at every stage of business ownership. In this virtual session, SBDC Director Maurae Gilbert McCants will introduce Chamber members to the resources available through the center and explain how local businesses can put them to work.

Whether you're developing a new idea, working through a challenge in an existing business, or planning for your next stage of growth, you'll learn where the SBDC can help and how to get connected with its advisors and resources.

This event is part of the Evanston Chamber's Business Resource Series, designed to connect local businesses directly with organizations, programs, and resources that can help them succeed.
