Resources
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, but please contact Maria Diaz at 815-280-1400 to confirm availability.

The SBDC also can provide referrals to area business professionals who can help your business thrive. We maintain a data base 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. The SBDC can be your gateway to negotiating the maze of government regulations and start-up issues through the state's First Stop Illinois program. You may access First Stop by calling (800) 252-2923.

Developed in cooperation with the U.S. Small Business Administration, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, and Joliet Junior College as a service to Illinois businesses under cooperative agreement #SB-2M-00097-15.
