As the
Governor of the State of Illinois, I would like to welcome you
to the The Small Business Advisor. As a small business
owner, it is important for you to understand the rules and
regulations that impact your business. The Small Business
Advisor offers quick access to proposed rules and
regulations, changes in requirements, and provides information
on recently adopted legislation that could have an impact on
your business.
Along with
the posting of the regulations and legislation, it also includes
notices of the time, date and place of public hearings, as well
as pertinent contact information. Most importantly, there is a
section where you will have the opportunity to voice your
comments on the rules, regulations and legislation.
Small
businesses play an extremely important role in Illinois. They
not only help diversify our economy, but they create employment
opportunities for our citizens. With that in mind, it is
critical that businesses are provided resources to help them
survive and prosper in difficult times.
The Illinois
Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity is an excellent
resource for businesses looking for assistance in marketing,
financing, licensing, government contracting, exporting,
technology and environmental compliance. Services are also
available for those looking to start a business in Illinois.
For more
information, I encourage you to contact the Illinois
Entrepreneurship Network Business Information Center’s toll free helpline at (800) 252-2923, or on
the web at

Sincerely,
Rod R.
Blagojevich
Governor
