Illinois Small Business Development Center

We are the host to an Illinois Small Business Development Center (SBDC) – the Illinois Small Business Development Center at Champaign County EDC.

If you currently own a business and are looking for resources to help your business grow, have a business idea, or have an interest in starting a business, the SBDC is a good first step.

The Illinois SBDC at Champaign County EDC is part of America’s Small Business Development Center Network, the most comprehensive small business assistance network in the United States. The goal of the network is to help new entrepreneurs achieve their goals, and assist existing businesses in staying successful in the complex marketplace locally, regionally, and globally.

The Illinois Small Business Development Center at Champaign County EDC is funded through a cooperative agreement between the U.S. Small Business Administration, Illinois Department of Commerce, and the Champaign County Economic Development Corporation; with additional support provided by EDC of Decatur and Macon County and the Midwest Inland Port.
