The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity has announced $25 million in available grant funding through the Back to Business NewBiz program.
The money targets businesses in hard-hit sectors that launched during the pandemic.
Businesses that launched in 2020 or 2021 and remain in operation have faced significant impacts during the pandemic, but they have not been eligible for other federal or state relief programming since they were not operational prior to the pandemic.
Applicants are encouraged to visit b2bnewbiz.com to learn more and apply.
