As the business services arm of the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Illinois Department
of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, the ISBDC can answer your questions concerning SBA and state
financing programs, bank lending and capitalization options available to small-business owners. The
ISBDC can be your gateway to negotiating the maze of government regulations and start-up issues
through the state's First Stop Illinois program.
Illinois Small Business Development Center at Kaskaskia College has been partially funded by the U.S.
Small Business Administration in partnership with the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic
Opportunity and Kaskaskia College as a service to Illinois small businesses. All SBA programs are
extended to the public on a nondiscriminatory basis.
