Illinois Small Business Relief Information

The State of Illinois has received its statewide Economic Injury Declarationwhich means small businesses in all 102 Illinois counties may be eligible for low-interest, economic injury disaster loans up to $2M per business.

Businesses can access additional information and apply for the loan online here.

In addition, business advisors at Illinois Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) are available to assist small businesses with the loan application process and are currently operating remotely. Businesses can locate their nearest Small Business Development Center here.

For questions about DCEO programs, resources or incentives you can contact the First Stop Business Information Center, email ceo.support@illinois.gov or call the toll-free helpline at 1.800.252.2923.

If any businesses in the community are interested in sharing information about the impact of COVID-19, we encourage them to do so here. Filling out this form also adds them to the IL distribution list so they can be the first to know of any new resources available to them. It also allows IL to better understand the needs of companies throughout the state at this time.
